Remembrance
When John would come home for a visit, he'd let us know the approximate time and we would be outside watching for his plane. He always 'buzzed' the house before landing at Hill Air Force Base, where we would go to pick him up. He always brought his dress white uniform because he knew Mom wanted him to wear it to church on Sunday. She was so proud of his accomplishments and wanted it to show at all occasions.
To Put A Face With A Name
Dear John, to honor your memory and the sacrifice you made for our country I want to make sure your photo will be displayed on your birthday each and every year when the Education Center is completed, so it is with great pride and humility that I post this remembrance and picture of you. You are not forgotten and remain in the hearts of many all these years later. You have been designated to be one of God's special angels, along with the love of my life, who also sacrificed his life during this war 45 years ago. God Bless You, John, for being who you were and for all you did--we live in freedom to this day thanks to heroes like you.
