On Wednesday, April 5, 2000 at 19:26:28 a tribute was placed here to Honor Charles E. Key -Pfc. World War II This is my father and he died on June 19,1997.He was a loving father and a devoted husband of 50 years. There is not a day goes by that I do not think about him and all the love that is still in my heart for him. While going through some of his papers I found this poem I would like to share with everyone that reads this web page. WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT? The ground was red and gory Where the dying soldier lay. On his mind were thoughts about his home And about a better day. Oh, I've thought, a thousand times, Why do they want men to die this way, With your face in the dirt, Without a word of comfort, Not one word of bliss. Their body is full of bullet holes, And their blood is seeping out. Their blood cries out to the heavens, Why are we all dying; What's this all about? Maybe in a distant tomorrow When these war lords die out, With a soft summer night, the stars all out, With our faces toward God, We will know "What it's all about." Good-bye daddy and may you always rest in peace. Your loving family. by Jo Ruth Winitsky from Athens, Tennessee, E-mail address: winitsky@usit.net

They will live with Vietnam and all the horror for the rest of their lives. Men like him are what keeps this country free.

On Tuesday, March 7, 2000 at 23:07:50 a tribute was placed here to Honor Captain Richard Allen Kerr [KIA January 31, 1968] The moment when you died My heart was split in two, One side filled with memories The other died with you. I think of you in silence, I always speak your name, For all that's left are memories Your picture in a frame. They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason Helps the pain I still feel For no one knows what I would give To sit with you a while. Your resting place I have visited, And placed a rose there with care But no one knows the heartache When I had to leave you there. Forever loved and never forgotten. I will always love you.

A few years back I heard from a relative that they had found remains of a C130 in Laos, and called his hometown paper to see if this was true, it was. He is finally on American soil, where he and his commrads should be.

On Saturday, February 19, 2000 at 15:42:02 a tribute was placed here to Honor Edward I. Beige In loving memory of our father, and grandfather, who passed away quietly in his sleep on April 13, 1994. He died so suddenly, there were no clues that he was going to have a massive heart attack.I was pregnant with my second child, only weeks before she made her arrival. He wanted so badly to have a grandaughter, as we had already given him his first grandson. My son was only 20 months old when he left, but in that short time he had already made such an impact in his life. one of my biggest regrets that he is no longer here, is that he will never have the chance to meet my other three girls. He was the greatest father in the world, and I know he would have made a wonderful grandpa. 47 years is such a short life to live, and you never know when it will end. Always believe in the ones you love, and they will always believe in you.Dad we miss you so much with every passing day.

On Sunday, January 23, 2000 at 10:16:43 a tribute was placed here to Honor GEORGE "BUCKY" EISENBERGER MY FIRST COUSIN, BUCKY, WAS OUR/MY FAMILIES PRIDE AND JOY [TO BE WITH OR JUST TO BE AROUND]. A MORE LEVEL HEADED AND CONCERNED MAN NEVER LIVED. I NEVER KNEW ANY OF HIS BUDDIES IN THE BIG RED ONE [HE WAS KIA IN THE DI AN AO], BUT I KNOW THEY WOULD AGREE WITH MY SUMMATION OF HIS PERSONALITY. IT REALLY WAS ALL BUT IMPOSSIBLE TO NOT LIKE HIM. HIS LOSS AFFECTED THE FAMILY AND HIS FRIENDS BEYOND DESCRIPTION, AND WITHIN A YEAR HIS OWN YOUNGER BROTHER, TWO OTHER COUSINS AND MYSELF ALL JOINED UP AND ALL WENT TO VIET NAM TO GET SOME MEASURE OF REVENGE ON THE PEOPLE WHO TOOK HIM FROM US. NOW IT APPEARS WE SHOULD TAKEN OUR ARMS AND GONE EAST TO DC SINCE THAT IS WHERE THE REAL VILLAINS LURK, NOT IN THE BUSH OF A POOR, BACKWARD COUNTRY WHOSE OWN PEOPLE SUFFERED EVEN MORE THAN DID OURS "BODY COUNT"-WISE. ANYWAY, I'M PROUD OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO SERVED IN THE MILITARY, BUT I DO NOT HARBOR SUCH FEELINGS FOR THE ONES WHO WOULD SEND OUR YOUNG AND MOST PROMISING PEOPLE TO FURTHER THEIR OWN AGENDA'S. MAY OUR DEARLY DEPARTED BROTHERS AND SISTERS REST IN PEACE AND NEVER AGAIN HAVE TO PAY THE ULTIMATE OR ANY PRICE BECAUSE OF A MONSTER LIKE LBJ AND THE OTHER POL'S, NOT ONE OF WHOM EVER HAD TO BEAR ARMS IN DEFENSE OF OUR NATION OR THE WORLD. PLEASE REMEMBER THE LESSONS THE 'NAM TAUGHT US AND PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN.... P.S. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE YOU HAVE FOR US TO VISIT AND REMEMBER. I HOPE YOU ARE NOT OFFENDED BY MY MUSINGS. I JUST FEEL SO BAD NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE BUCK AND THE OTHERS HERE TO ENJOY I HAD TO SAY SOMETHING BECAUSE I KNOW THEY WOULD BE SAYING IT WERE I IN THEIR PLACE AND THEY WERE HERE. by Jess Paul Tomey from Pawhuska/Tulsa, OK, E-mail address: jptomey@yahoo.com

On Wednesday, January 19, 2000 at 00:01:09 a tribute was placed here to Honor LCPL. BENJAMIN H. GEARHEART In HONOR of ~LCPL BENJAMIN H. GEARHEART~ Ben was born and raised in Galloway, Ohio and moved to Franklin Tennessee in 1992. He was a 22 year old Marine who died on 8/27/97. His LAV went down a 1200 ft. embankment during a military training maneuver on base at Camp Pendleton, California Most Americans are not aware that up to 1800 of our GI s die every year in training accidents. I sadly was one of the uninformed. He had been in for three years. I worried myself sick while he was in Kuwait and was so relieved when he returned to American soil. Three Marines at my door changed that. Ben was a third generation Marine and was so proud to be serving our country. So dear to my heart was the sound of his laughter. No matter how bad things were he somehow managed to put a smile on your face. If you were bored, he became your entertainment. He lived his life with such passion, and captured every detail as if through the eyes of a child. I miss him so much I just can't stand it.
