...Far too innocent,...

...I sit, and reflect, and sometimes don't know what to write, but I write anyway, I write what comes to mind after,...

...Being a service officer in a chapter with fast dwindling numbers of members as many are, I usually make it a point to stop in briefly at a wake, or burial, and present a bereavment card,...

...In the years to follow, we will witness the passing of so many of our Nation's finest soldiers, most of the WWII generation,...

...Last night was not one of those, Last night was one of yours,...

... Last night I donned my cap, and walked in as I have done many times, but last night was different, I knew not of this man, nor his service, all I knew is what I read through the papers which I posted here, I knew he graduated from my high school years before I, and served ...

...There stood his Aunt/mother, I believe , O2 in tow, I seemed to be the last one in last night, but by the look in her eyes, and the tears started freely flowing as I approached, I knew that all the walls were knocked down, If for that one moment in her painful life, she found peace, she saw a moment of somebody cares, I hugged her, and whispered that his pain was gone, and that he was in a better place,...

...I looked over at our brother, and neatly attached to his lapel was the only one adornment , His 1st Cav pin, ...

...I did not know him,... but I know he loved all of you,...

... I know he must have talked for 35 years about you, or he didn't,... but I know he loved you,...

...I know he loved you by the look in his Aunt/Mother's eyes,...

...And I know, and she knows, that he is remembered by those that love him,...

..."Welcome Home",...
