Today I remember Robert Smith, my uncle, served at the same time Korea was winding up.
Today I remember William "Standing Bear" Dawkins. He served during WW2 in the Pacific and during the Korean War.
Today I remember Frederick Gabow. We served together.
Today I remember Carroll "Neptunis Lex" LeFon. He served during Desert Storm and beyond and his writing inspired me to improve mine.
Today I remember Davy McGuire. He served through Vietnam in submarines.
Gentlemen, I miss you all.
However, enjoy the extra day off, baseball and the Indy 500. It is for those simple pleasures we served that you could.
