Mom, I Love you so much, and i miss you more than words can say. My life has changed so much since you left. I didn't think i could live without you. But because of your love and your memory, I have been strong. I know that God made you my guardian Angel, so how could I go wrong. Mom, even after all the years you have been gone, I Still cry cause I miss you so very much. what I didn't have the chance to tell you before you left here, was what a wonderful Mother you were, and what a wonderful Friend you were to me. God blessed me with you. Mommy, I do love you with all my heart, I always will. I really miss you. If i could reach to heaven I would hold you in my arms and NEVER let go. I LOVE YOU!!

TO ALL THOSE THAT HAVE EVER SERVED IN ANY ARMED FORCES OF THE MILITARY
floral tribute
A VISITOR FROM THE PAST
I HAD A DREAM THE OTHER NIGHT,I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
A FIGURE WALKING THROUGH THE MIST, WITH A FLINTLOCK IN HIS HAND.
HIS CLOTHES WERE TORN AND DIRTY, AS HE STOOD BY THE BED.HE TOOK OFF HIS THREE CORNERED HAT, AND SPEAKING LOUD,HE SAID:
WE FOUGHT A REVOLUTION, TO SECURE OUR LIBERTY.
WE WROTE THE CONSTITUTION, AS A SHEILD FROM TYRANNY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS,THIS LEGACY WE GAVE:
IN THIS LAND OF THE FREE, AND HOME OF THE BRAVE.
A FREEDOM WE SECURED FOR YOU, WE HOPED YOU'D ALWAYS KEEP.
BUT TYRANTS LABORED ENDLESSLY,WHILE YOUR PARENTS WERE ASLEEP.
YOUR FREEDOM GONE AND YOUR COURAGE LOST, YOU ARE JUST A SLAVE,
IN THIS LAND OF THE FREE, AND HOME OF THE BRAVE.
YOU BUY PERMITS TO TRAVEL, AND PERMITS TO OWN A GUN.
PERMITS TO START A BUSINESS, OR TO BUILD A PLACE FOR ONE.
ON THE LAND YOU BELEIVE IS YOUR OWN, AN YOU PAY A YEARLY RENT.
YOU HAVE NO CHOICE IN CHOOSING, HOW THE MONEY IS SPENT.
YOUR CHILDREN MUST ATTEND A SCHOOL, THAT DOESN'T EDUCATE.
YOUR MORAL VALUES CAN'T BE TAUGHT ACCORDING TO THE STATE.
YOU READ ABOUT THE CURRENT NEWS, IN A REGULATED PRESS.
YOU PAY A TAX YOU DO NOT OWE, TO APPEASE THE IRS.
YOUR MONEY IS NO LONGER MADE, OF SILVER OR GOLD
YOU TRADE YOUR WEALTH FOR PAPER, AS YOUR LIFE CAN BE CONTROLLED.
YOU PAY FOR CRIMES THAT MAKE OUR NATION, TURN FROM GOD IN SHAME.
YOU'VE TAKEN SATAN'S NUMBER, AS YOU TRADED IN YOUR NAME.
YOU'VE GIVEN GOVERMENT CONTROLS TO THOSE WHO WOULD DO YOU HARM.
PADLOCK YOUR FAMILY BUSINESS, AND STEAL THE FAMILY FARM.
KEEP OUR COUNTRY DEEP IN DEBT, AND PUT THOSE WHO DISSENT IN JAIL.
HARASS YOUR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN, WHILE CORRUPTED COURTS PREVAIL.
YOUR PUBLIC SERVANTS DON'T UPHOLD, THE SOLEMN OATH THEY'VE SWORN.
THEY INTERFERE IN YOUR CHOICE, WHETHER CHILDREN WILL BE BORN.
YOUR LEADERS, THEY SHIP ARTILLERY, AND GUNS TO FOREIGN SHORES.
AND SENT YOUR SONS TO SLAUGHTER, FIGHTTING OTHER PEOPLE'S WARS
CAN YOU REGAIN THE FREEDOM, FOR WHICH WE FOUGHT AND DIED
OR DON'T YOU HAVE THE COURAGE, OR THE FAITH TO STAND WITH PRIDE?
ARE THERE NO MORE VALUES, FOR WHICH YOU'LL FIGHT TO SAVE?
OR DO YOU WISH YOUR CHILDREN, TO LIVE IN FEAR AND BE A SLAVE?
SONS OF THE REPUBLIC, ARISE AND TAKE A STAND.
DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION,THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND.
PRESERVE OUR GREAT REPUBLIC, AND EACH GOD-GIVEN RIGHT.
AND PRAY TO GOD TO KEEP THE TORCH,OF FREEDOM BURNING BRIGHT.
AND AS I WOKE HE VANISHED, INTO THE MIST FROM WHENCE HE CAME.
HIS WORDS ARE TRUE, WE ARE NOT FREE;WE HAVE OURSELVES TO BLAME.
FOR EVEN NOW AS TYRANTS TRAMPLE,EACH GOD GIVEN RIGHT;
WE ONLY WATCH AND TREMBLE,TOO AFRAID TO STAND AND FIGHT.
IF HE STOOD BY YOUR BEDSIDE,IN A DREAM WHILE YOU WERE ASLEEP...
AND WONDERED AT WHAT REMAINS, OF THE RIGHTS HE FOUGHT TO KEEP. WHAT WOULD BE YOUR ANSWER, AS HE CALLED OUT FROM THE GRAVE:
"IS THIS THE LAND OF THE FREE, AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE?"

I'm so proud of my parents, dad served 30 years and Three wars, WWII, Korean War, (one of the oldest men to serve his country in Vietnam). Now, you are both together at Arlington National Cemetery, this place of honor. Thank YOU for teaching me to love my country, my family, my life in the military. Mom would always serve up meals for any G.I. who needed that touch of home. You were beside dad, wherever you might be sent to, with all of us Army Brats in tow. Everyday I am so proud of you both, the dedication to our country. And, to my mother for her life as an "Army Wife". Today, I raised my children and Now my grandchildren to stand with their hands over their hearts and remember they do this in respect for you. I love you both forever....God Bless America...

Eulogy for a Veteran
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the Gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

I was only a baby when you lost your life
You were a young man without children or a wife
We are family but never got to know each other
I am your niece, you are my Mom's brother
It must have been hard on our family that day
When the war claimed you and death took you away
I want to take just a little time
To say something about this uncle of mine
We are so pround of the stand he took
You can not read about him in any book
We take a day out of every year
To remember him and wish he was still here
Memorial Day has been set aside
To honor all the soldiers like him who have died
Life for us has gone on for years
When we think of him, we shead some tears
We thank God for giving us so many brave men
Honor and courage is what it was about then
We thank you for fighting for our freedom that day
Even though the cost was so hard to pay
You've done your duty, you've done your part
We will remember you always within our heart

It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech.

My dad died February 4, 2000. I started growing up the day I saw the expression on his face when the news about My Lai broke on the CBS Evening News. He was a radio interception operator during the Korean Era and served at Adak, Alaska. He always laughed about how they kept beer cold in the sink, but there was always pain beneath that story. He wouldn't tell us a lot more about what went on.

My dad taught me to take pride in my country and especially to honor the people who served because their sacrifice of time, youth, health and life helped to keep all of us free and enjoying the lives with which we are blessed.

I shall never forget his lessons.

He was killed in action on June 2-3 1944 near Volmontone Italy. It goes on to tell the story of his heroic death. He recieved the Medal of Honor for his couragous act, during an ambush.

Francis Kempa
floral tribute
Frank, (my grandfather) was among the men chosen when the navy first organized the udt's in ww2. It has been a source of great pride in my family knowing he was on omaha beach before our troops landed, clearing the way! He was a modest man who didn't like talking of himself or the things he experienced, but on the rare occasions he spoke-it was obvious how profoundly these things affected his life. Frank died several years ago and I miss him terribly, thank you for this opportunity to write what is in my heart.

TILL DEATH DO US PART
TO A FRIEND WHO'S GONE THAT I MISS SO TRUE,
IF YOU HAD KNOWN HIM YOU WOULD MISS HIM TOO,
HIS BIG BRIGHT EYES THAT GLOW WITH LOVE,
I WOULD HAVE GIVE ANYTHING FOR JUST ONE LAST HUG,
HIS HAIR SO BLACK LIKE THE NIGHT'S SKY
I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO SAY GOOD BYE,
WITH HIS FACE SO ROUND AND A HEART SHAPED BROW,
WHY WAS HE CHOSEN PLEASE TELL ME NOW.

THERE'S SO MANY THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND
LIKE HOW COULD HE BE TAKEN FROM THIS LAND,
IT WASN'T HIS TIME HE SHOULDN'T BE GONE
CAUSE THE WAY THINGS HAPPENED THEY WERE OH SO WRONG,
THEY TOOK HIM AWAY NEVER TO COME BACK,
THE NEXT TIME I SAW HIM HE WAS ON HIS BACK,
HIS BRIGHT EYES WERE SHUT NEVER TO OPEN AGAIN,
I KNEW THEN IT WAS CLOSE TO THE END,
I STOOD BY HIS SIDE AND HELD HIS HAND,
I SPOKE SOFT WORDS BUT HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.
THE PAIN IN MY HEART WAS MORE THAN I COULD STAND
AND THATS WHEN I FELT A SQUEEZE ON MY HAND,
AGAIN I THOUGHT ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO SAY GOOD BYE
AND THAT'S WHEN I SAW THE TEAR IN HIS EYE,
AND I KNEW THEN, THAT TEAR WAS OUR GOOD BYE.

AND YOU TOO FANCY. I MISS YOU BILLY

Unlike many others, my brother made it back from the war but will always be affected by it physically.

Since he was a little boy, he wanted to be a Marine. He used to dress up in my father's dress blues. As a young adult, he finally made it and our father's proudest day was when JB graduated boot camp at Camp Pendleton.

Our father taught us that America, with all her faults, was still the greatest country in the world and that it is a privelege to defend her and I still believe that.

I am proud to be the daughter and sister of Marine Corps veterans...

Dearest Daddy--

Although I am far away from home and you are no longer with me I miss you so much. I never get through a day without missing you so much...until you were gone, I never realized what a big influence you had on my life.

Whenever I see an American Flag...attend a parade and a Marine color guard goes by...hear "The Halls of Montezuma"...someone whistles in a crowd the same way you used to whistle for us...the tears start to fall.

Life will never be the same...and wouldn't be the same without your presence in it. Lexi and Dakota's life would be far richer had you been here to share it. We all miss you so much!

HARRY E. & ELLAMAE STILES

A FATHER AND MOTHERS LOVE

AMERICA, WE RAISED A SON FOR YOU, HE WAS A UNITED STATES MARINE. ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE,
HE LOST HIS LIFE WHICH SHATTERED ALL OUR DREAMS. WE REMEMBER OUR SON WHEN JUST A LAD, ON
HIS SHOULDER WAS A BROOM, SAYING,"MOM AND DAD, I'M GONNA BE A MARINE." AS HE MARCHED FROM
ROOM TO ROOM.

THE DAY HE LEFT, I'LL NEVER FORGET AS HE BADE US BOTH
GOOD-BYE. TO BOOT CAMP TRAINING AT PARRIS ISLAND. AS
TEARS FELL FROM OUR EYES.WE MISSED HIM SO, WHEN HE
LEFT HOME. BUT HE WROTE US EVERYDAY. SAYING MARINE
CORPS TRAINING WAS REALLY TOUGH SO FOR HIM WE'D ALWAYS PRAY.

TIME WENT QUICKLY AND HE WAS HOME ON LEAVE.
THE DAYS THEY PASSED SO FAST. LITTLE WE KNEW AS
WE HUGGED HIM TIGHT. THIS WAS TO BE OUR LAST. WE
COULDN'T BELIEVE THE WAY HE LOOKED. SO HEALTY,
STRAIGHT, AND LEAN. WE REALIZED OUR SON WAS NOW
A MAN. A UNITED STATES MARINE.

IN A LITTLE TIME HE WENT OVERSEAS, TO VIETNAM HE
WOULD GO. IT WAS THERE OUR SON LOST HIS LIFE. HOW
SOON WE WERE TO KNOW. AS WE OPENED UP THE
TELEGRAM, TEARS BURST FROM OUR EYES. GOD, WHY
DID THIS HAPPEN TO OUR SON? FOR WHAT REASON DID
HE DIE? IT WAS THEN WE BEGAN TO REALIZE WHILE FOND
MEMORIES SLIPPED AWAY. OUR SON HAD DIED FOR THE
CAUSE OF PEACE AND WE BOTH KNELT DOWN TO PRAY.

WE ASKED GOD IF HE'D BLESS OUR SON. TO GRANT HIM
PEACE, WITH LOVE. TO LIGHTEN THE BURDEN WE NOW
FEEL TIL WE JOIN OUR SON ABOVE.
