Thank You

Dear Lt John Woods, Thank you for your service as a Motor Transport Officer. I researched you on your 55th anniversary, sad. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Presidents' Day Weekend. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance, and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Never Forgotten

I have never forgotten Kevin. We grew up across the street from each other in Western Springs, and even though I was a couple years younger than Kevin, he was always so kind, inviting me (the neighborhood "Tom Boy"), to join the guys in pick-up games. I remember how hard his death hit me --- his parents gave me a personalized photo of him which I cherish to this day.

Rest in peace, Kevin. I think of you often, and living in Northern Virginia, I go down to the Wall and say a prayer of thanks to you and your fellow patriots. God Bless you all!

Kevin, we still miss you

"To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star"
