Most Recent Reflection
View all 7 ReflectionsI am your great grandson and only grandchild. Your son was raised by his mother and then his aunts and uncles after her death. Your service and sacrifice have never been forgotten and passed down to my two daughters, two sons, and five grandchildren. They say we die two deaths - one when our body fails and the other when our name is no longer spoken. I hope it would have been a comfort to you to know that you, your sacrifice and example continue to be remembered.
