Jack Lummus lost his life at Iwo Jima. Nile Kinnick's plane went down over the channel. Bob Kalsu was lost in Vietnam. Thinking about Pat Tillman really gets to me. These men, during the prime of their lives and careers, made the ultimate sacrifice. I know that Memorial Day is about those that did not make it back home, but I have included a little something from my grandfather. I read his letters to my grandmother. I know part of him died there. He went in as a private and was promoted to Major. I believe they were all battlefield commissions.
