WHAT MEMORIAL DAY MEANS TO ME

COMPANY A 58 - TR - CAMP FANNIN, TEXAS.
Men who stood beside MY Father in WORLD WAR II.
And the same men who battled the cold waters of the
English Channel the night of December 24th 1944 on
Troopship S.S. Leopoldville.

Memorial Day means a lot of things to different people.

For those of us who are interested in history, it is a day

of remembering those who have lost their lives during

the course of the many wars our nation has endured.

There are so many who have died to maintain our

freedoms, as we know them today. Some of us have

forgotten wars of long ago, and that American ideals

were fought for from the beginnings of this country.

We do not know all of the names, nor the faces of those

we have lost to war, but they were someones father,

brother, uncle, son, and they have given the ultimate

sacrifice of their own life for the pursuit of American

Liberty. Some of the men who died in service are

same men who once stood beside your veteran

ancestor in wartime conflicts.

We need to remember those men and women that

have served our country and respect what they have

done for our nation, and everyone of us, this Memorial Day.

This Memorial Day my hand is over my heart for all

who have served our country.
