Jack, I have thought of you thousands of times over the years that we last met at the diner in Monroeville before your departure to Vietnam. Our government cheated your out of a lifetime of happiness by taking you away to a foreign land to fight a losing war. You were such a nice, kind, and friendly classmate of mine so I will remember you always. Here I am, an old man who has lived a long happy life, and I think of how you were cheated by our government of your long happy life. I attended your funeral and after all these years I cannot forget your sacrifice. I only hope there is, indeed, a heaven. Jack

honoring you.....
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions and spends himself in a great worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end triumph of high achievement and, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while caring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold, timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

Thank You
Dear PFC John McLay, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Yesterday was the 75th anniversary of the Treaty that ended WWII. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.
