honoring you.....
There is a place
Not far from here
Where spirits walk
And heroes live
And honor still resides.
It is a wall
With names inscribed
Of those who served
When they were asked...
The brothers of my youth.
I go there still
To walk and think
About my life,
And what I've done since
And things that might have been.
There is a debt
I can't repay
Too many lives were spent.
And one man's life cannot suffice
To make their deaths worthwhile.
But there is hope
In the memory
Of those we leave behind
Who know the price that freedom brings
Who can carry on in kind.
I send you now
To touch a name
So the vision can be passed
Remember there is honor still
It is for you to see it lasts.
They are not dead
And have a wish
As all old soldiers do
The reflection you see before you now
Is their wish to live in you.

Thank You
Dear Sp4 Ronald Sockey, Thank you for your service as an Indirect Fire Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. I researched you on your 54th anniversary, sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Spring , and Lent. Time moves quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Lest we forget
It will soon be 47 years my mother wrote me about Ronnie's passing . I knew Ronnie Sockey all our lives and we were always close. I happen upon his photo while serving in RVN two years ago and got in touch with his best friend "over there". I last saw him in Red Oak during the Holidays 1966 a cold cloudy day right in the middle of Main Street wished my friend luck never thinking we would never cross paths again, but I have never forgotten him.

Remembering An American Hero
Dear SP4 Ronald Sockey, sir
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, Sir
Curt Carter
