I remember....
I remember sitting on your knee as a child not long before you left us. I think of you often. You named for your father and I named for our grandmother. I wanted so to come see your name on The Wall. But, I may never accomplish that being so far away. We lost you but we remember. Tressie (Cribelar) Whysong

I never met you, but you will always be remembered. God bless you and all the others who died during this fierce war. We all miss you, and we'll see you on heaven's bright shore. To fallen comrades.
