We Will Remember
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

You and the ones that made the ultimate sacrifice
I salute you as you are one of the true warriors that keep our country safe. My brother also gave his life. I served with the big red one headquarters co. in 1966. I met your Dad when I went to worked for the City of Mountain View. We both had something very much in common. We lost someone we loved very much. Rest in peace till we all meet again.
