Semper Fi, Marine

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us.....

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

Buddy and I became friends in the third grade in Saginaw. I moved to Detroit area the next year but we continued our friendship until just after graduating H.S. in 1965. When I was in Saginaw we played countless hours of basketball in his driveway. Buddy went into the Marines, never to return and I on to college and business success. I'm now 71, retired, and always wonder what kind of man he would have become.
