My Uncle
I never knew you but you are a part of my life. Your brother, my father, Died in February 1972. They said he was not the same after you died. I hardly knew him, I was only two months old at the time. Your Mom took it hard and I don't think she has gotten over it yet. It is now January 2001 and she still talks about you with a sparkle in her eye. Aunt Marion had a deep affection for you and Uncle Bud passed away in late 2000. Although I never knew you we are connected by blood and family. I look forward to seeing you again and when we all can be together as one big happy family.
You nephew,
Robert Charles Glenn Dyke Ward

Remembering Charlie
It is Veteran's Day 1999, 32 years later. I was 16 when Charlie died. He was the quieter one of the brothers, is what I remember the most. Not a real big guy. He went to Hazleton High. I will never forget his viewing, in his uniform, very handsome and dignified. I remember thinking this was too close to home, this was Charlie lying there. He was the first from Drums to die. Today I write this in remembrance of you. You are not forgotten, nor is the sacrifice you made. Charlie, I have an 18 year old son now, and I pray that, perhaps because of your sacrifice, he will never have to see the horrors of war. Rest in peace, in God's presence forever. Irene
