A Friend Never Forgotten

Steve sat on my left in Westside High School study hall and Pat Brock on my right. Together we formed a team that passed hilarious banter back and forth. For example, Steve was a Lutheran, like me, and Pat was a Catholic, like my father. Steve and Pat would argue back and forth as to which religion I should rightly adhere. Steve was also in my prep-physics class, and when Pres. Kennedy was assassinated we put our heads down facing each other. No words, just thoughts. As a fellow member of Pacific Hills Lutheran Church, Steve and I prayed together and laughed at so many of our Walther (youth) League gatherings. When I was a junior in at Nebraska University, Steve's death was announced at church and I happened to be home that weekend. My heart was broken, and Steve has been the friend and veteran I carry in my thoughts until my last days. So Steve, these are my thoughts to you on this Memorial Day Weekend, May 23, 2015. My daughter was and is a Marine, just like you. She served as a CH-53 pilot in Iraq. She and her Cobra pilot husband have two children. I wish you could have known them. Semper Fi.
