THE WALL OF FACES

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

Thanksgiving is this week. Time moves quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

One day I was there a man came up to me and he new you, was great to talk to, said your wife is still alive and never remarred. I am still looking to find her, a nursing homes somewhere in Wisconsin. You have not been forgotten, and I wish you was here, and will drop by the church you went to. Plus your picture is still at Zion Benton high school I think. You are my brother and I never forget.
