MEMORIAL DAY 2011
Being a Viet Nam veteran I am fortunate to be able to be here alive to say, “on this day I honor all of those brave soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines that gave the ultimate sacrifice.
You are our “silent” heroes. I salute you and honor your. You may be gone, but you are far from forgotten. Thank you for our freedom….”
I Stand Before You

I stand before you all today
But not one eye can see my way
My time arrived, to leave this earth
A fact so planned, to every birth
It happened where I had to go
My torch for life was so aglow
I transferred while in uniform
Protecting freedom, through a storm
Should I resent I died for you
Not on my life, red white and blue
Please help my family through each day
Tell all my friends, try not to stray
And of the country I did love
Do think of me, through God above
Your memories, brought forth this day
Send love to us, who could not stay
