Remembering those who didn't come home.
A time to pause for a moment to remember those friends, relatives or someone you may have known that served and gave the ultimate. I know a few guys I served with in Vietnam whose names are on the wall in DC, truly good guys all, who lost their lives there. God bless you guys!

Remembering those who didn't come home.
Thank you Ted for the posting. The memorial walls in DC are very moving & touching, but the real tear jerker is walking through Arlington and reading some of the posters and letters that the children of those killed in Iraq have left for their fathers/mothers/brothers/sisters.
Thank you to all those who have served and currently serve our nation. Frank Wm. Jennings Chief Warrant Officer United States Coast Guard Frank Jr. Jennings (USN, WWII) Gone but never forgotten. Frank E. Jennings (USN, Vietnam) |

I'd like to take this time to remember a few buddies who gave their lives for the ultimate sacrifice.

I visited the US military cemetery in Holland about 20 years ago and it almost brought me to tears.
All I can say is Thank You. |
