Memorial Day 2005

Memorial Day 2005, is just two weeks away, and this afternoon I was thinking of the men and women who over the years have answered that call; you know the one, it's the same one we've all heard and answered.
The voice called, "Who'll go?"
"Send me," was our reply and with our hands extended; we went and we returned.
Many others also replied with hands extended, and theirs was answered with an eternal deployment.

I ask us all to post the name of a lost shipmate, team mate, co-pilot, brother, lover, husband, wife, father, mother, uncle, aunt, son, daughter, friend, or soulmate.

They're all special, missed, and heros.

My shipmate and hero:

GMC (DV,PJ,EOD) Joe Hendricks

my grandfather and hero Ed Sandhurst PFC 1944-1945 taught me so much about life and sorely missed every day.
