Memorial Day

All you real veterans, I salute you! I served in the Army, 1966-1972 as a CPT
JAG. Never went overseas and never saw combat (not the kind with bullets
anyway). I come from long line of military people: My two Great Grandfathers on
my father's side served in the 15th Alabama under the command of Col. William
Oates (later an Alabama governor and US senator and who served in Spanish
American War) during the "War of northern Agression". Both these brave soldiers
made three assaults at Little Roundtop, Gettysburg. One was wounded and went
home, the other was captured and later paroled to return to the 15th and fought
all the way to the surrender.

My grandfather on my mothers side fought in WWI and I had uncles who fought in
all branches during WWII. My Dad was a Seabee and landed at Guam and Okinawa.

Proudest of all is my son, Frank who just retired from the US Navy with three
tours in the Gulf.

I salute you all - brave men and women who put country first!
