My Buddy and Good Guy

John, Jim Tanlinger, and myself, entered the military on the very same day, July 15, 1966. Jim and I joined the Air Force. John walked the red line of the Marines. So many wonderful memories of a person who had your back and loved a party.

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.
