Frank was my father
He was truly wonderful
He will never know just how much I miss him
I love you dad

I would like to post this in memory of my dad. He was in the Airforce and served in the Korean War and died when I was only 15. He was a great dad. I am much older now, but I miss him terribly and love him so much. My son is now a Marine and I worry about him everyday and wish his grandfather could be here to see him. God Bless you daddy. Love, your daughter, Suzanne.

Thank you for your sacrifices, and I will always love you.

Our Daddy is our hero and we miss him very much. He's in Iraq right now but we know that he will be home soon to give us hugs and kisses! We love you Daddy!

Thirty seven years ago this Monday, November 15th, you gave your life. Although we never met I was a neighbor of your mom's and close friends with your sisters, Diane and Sonia. My brother Eddie and I cried for you last Sunday when we saw your name on a Vietnam war movie memorial. You are not forgotten.

YOU LEFT A FAMILY THAT LOVED YOU WAY TO SOON AND I MISS YOU VERY MUCH

Loved by all, Clarence will always be rememebered for his dedication to his family and his faith. He will be missed, and I am fortunate enough that he was able to meet his great-grandaughter prior to his passing.

My Dad who fought in WWII, thank you.

My Papaw, he was the most amazing person I ever knew. He served his country and then came home and served as husband and father to a wonderful wive and seven children. Through even the tough times, he never gave up. He never quit. I held him in only the highest regard for his dedication to family and country.

Oh, to sit, look into his face and hear him tell a story just one more time....

On this the eve before Veterans Day, would like to say THANK YOU!! to all who have stood their "Watch" so all may enjoy the freedoms we have today.



It is you and all our fellow Veterans that know, Freedom is never Free, That All Gave Some and far to Many Gave All.



We reserve Memorial Day as the Day to Honor those who have gone to their "Post Everlasting", but Veterans Day is the time to Honor All Veterans, those who still walk among us, as well as those who have gone on their "Last Patrol".



Let us not forget to Honor those who serve today, for they are our fellow Veterans of tomorrow. As they pass in Harm's Way during these troubled times, may we pray that God will keep them safe.



Again THANK YOU my fellow Veterans, it has been an Honor to have served with you.


A very special Thank You to my son CPO Kelvin Jacobs ADCS,who has served with honor in the U.S. Navy for the last 26 years.
May God safely return him to his family when his long voyage is completed.



Fair Winds and Following Seas to All

Korean War

If I could choose one day to live over again, there would be no hesitation.
November 10, 1965, 190th Birthday of the Marine Corps, the day I met you, and the day that changed my life forever.
How often do I think of you, it's hard to conceive of a number.
Do I calculate by years, months or days.
The void runs too deep.
I often wonder "what could have been?"
Then the thought is gone, for it was just not meant to be.
Your memory lives within my heart and soul, forever and a day.
You will never be forgotten.
With All My Love, Semper Fi.

thank you all for keeping freedom free

My Grandpa served in the Navy, World War II in the Pacific. He was born June 11,1925 and Died December 22,1993 I miss him dearly. He is my Hero and some one I hope to be some day. My memory of him is the food to my soul and my survival of each passing day. I can't wait to see him in heaven again some day.

Doc had a gentle spirit and a special soulfulness. He was
killed four days before he was to rotate home from Korea,
July 4, 1952. He brought a brightness into the lives of those
he touched, and his short stay here on earth left lasting
sunshine and rainbows.

Uncle Tony,
You were my best friend and I miss you dearly!! We had such great times together and I will never forget any of them!! I love you very much and always will! Love, Angie

William Howard was my hero from the day i was born. He raised me not only as my grandpa but as my best freind! He died january 2001 and left me with many great memories! Anthony Payan is a good friend of mine who is now serving in Iraq. He left for Iraq on Oct. 13, 2004. I would just like to thank anyone who is or who has ever served for our country.THANK YOU!!

TRYING TO FIND WHERE HE DIED

my granfather never said much but before he died he told me some of the horrific stories of the battles he was in even thought that was a hard thing for him to do he wanted me and everybody elese to remeber.Even though im just 12 years old there is not a day that goes by that i dont think of the wonderful people who fought.Granpa i love you and im doing my best too make sure people remember.....and thanks for everything

I come from a family with a long tradition of military service. It is never easy to watch a loved one leave for war. I just want to thank them and ALL the Veterans out there.

Grandpa George,
I miss you everyday and it makes me sad to know that you are not here. I have the stories that daddy tells me and the pictures of all of us. I wish you were still. I love you.

I SALUTE YOU MY HERO 04/15/1944-05/30/2004
MY HUSBAND....MY BEST FRIEND
Bob passed away on May 30 2004 from Cancer and other health problems caused by Agent Orange. He was in the 40th Battalion of the Signal Corp, 972 Unit served from 4/1966 to 4/1967. Bob was a Proud American and we were Proud to have known him.
He taught me how to smile when I wanted to cry
To give freely without looking back,
To never take anything for granted,
To appreciate that I lived in a land that was free
And on every Veterans Day when we went to the Parade he taught me how to cry Openly with pride.
His last Veterans Day parade was November of 2003
This year he was too sick to go to the Parade and I knew I could not just let it pass so Me and one of our Grandaughters Krista went and bought him a vase of red white and blue flowers with a flag in it and I saluted him and saluted all the other soldiers past and present for him. I was sure Proud to be that soldiers wife. He never got to see his flowers or see the Salute for he left that morning to meet and greet the other Soldiers who had went on before him. From all of us who knew you we say Job well done. Forever missed by Wife, Sons, Daughters, Grandchildren, and Friends.

I still remember when you came from 1st tour Vietnam you stood tall 6ft in your Army Greens and that sharp Green Beret always I was honored to walk with you. Then that Nov 17, 1967 on your 2nd tour of Nam after several months in combat we got the telegram which nobody belived was real. Yet to see you on that coffin so quiet and calm I guess the good Lord needed a tall Sgt in Heaven.

He will always be in our lives, my brother The Green Beret tall and sharp. He always was very kind and a gentelman. Every time I see a soldier I remember him. God Bless You though we don't see you we have not forgoten you. You will always be in our hearts and our mind.

He will be going to Iraq soon. He is one of my best friends and I hope and pray that he returns home to his wife and family safely.
