I plan a motorcycle ride over to Frankfort to pay my respects at the Kentucky Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Someone in France remembers.
A good man who made a positive difference in my life. Bob Coleman was my Sunday school teacher when I was in my teens. A kind and soft spoken man of God. We all knew Bob was a Marine during WWII, but it wasn't until after his death did I find he was a Sgt. in the First Marine Raider Battalion, a rather special group who at times operated behind Japanese lines interupting communications, supplies, and generally doing any damage they could. Bob was one of the toughest of the tough, but you'd never know talking to him. Imagine my surprise shortly after moving to our present home that Bob's grave is less than half a mile from my front door. I look forward to seeing Bob again.
A Great Uncle, killed in France, 1918. We think a friend took the photo of his grave in France and sent it home to his wife.
This Sgt.Maj's gaze says more than I can write. American Cemetery, 2nd. Battle of the Marne 1918.
Marine Memorial, Belleau Wood France 1918.
Gettysburg National Cemetery.
@Wheelguns Stormin Norman was my general during the 1st (1991) gulf war. I was planning on going to Washington DC Sunday, to participate in the memorial day march with my brothers and sisters from desert storm. go an visit some lost brothers at Arlington and to see what is completed at the desert storm memorial. but, unfortunately just couldn't make it happen. so I will be watching from home.
