Out of pure respect, Vietvet2tours lowered his US and POW flags for a fellow soldier (thank you)

Godspeed Romeo.  

I'll bet my dad was there to welcome another Vet to the next phase of the journey. . . .

Another member of the greatest generation gone. . . . . it is truly all of America's loss.

So very, very sorry for your loss Jonny.

God Speed Romeo and thank you for your service.

In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918 )
Canadian Army

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

In Remembrance and with Reverence,
Cat

I want to thank everyone in this thread and all of you that have signed the guest book.

When my sister-in-law looked at the guest book she was blown away at the number of people from all around the world paying respect. She told me to thank all of you for doing what you did for someone you did not even know.

If there is a better family out there than this one, I must be blind because I aint seen them.

You folks ROCK!  :'(

Edit to add: Thanks to those that PM'ed too!

For Romeo

As soon as Taps was sounded that night in July 1862, words were put with the music. The first were, "Go To Sleep, Go to Sleep." As the years went on many more versions were created. There are no official words to the music but here are some of the more popular verses:

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the hills, from the lake,
From the sky.
All is well, safely rest,
God is nigh.

Go to sleep, peaceful sleep,
May the soldier or sailor,
God keep.
On the land or the deep,
Safe in sleep.

Love, good night, Must thou go,
When the day, And the night
Need thee so?
All is well. Speedeth all
To their rest.

Fades the light; And afar
Goeth day, And the stars
Shineth bright,
Fare thee well; Day has gone,
Night is on.

Thanks and praise, For our days,
'Neath the sun, Neath the stars,
'Neath the sky,
As we go, This we know,
God is nigh.

I have in this house tonight 3 men who were witness to Pearl Harbor. They were young boys at the time and had been born on Oahu. One of those young boys was my father. I have seen photos that I do not believe the rest of the public has seen and I can tell you, after all these years, their memories and pics are so vivid it makes your skin do the goose bump thing.

My dad never knew his father, my grandfather died in '42 while pulling ships up from the harbor sea floor.
My cousins, " yes, I have cousins almost twice my age", told me in detail what went on that Sunday morning on December 7, 1941. They were there just a few miles away.

The generation of our fathers and grandfathers could not be matched today, in my opinion. I think it was a Japanese  Admiral who said that they had awaken a sleeping giant after the attack in '41. I wonder if we have went back to sleep after WWII? We won two fronts in less time back then with many times the enemy.

Lets wake up and get the job done our sons, brothers and fathers are in the middle of. Whatever it takes. This friggin nation is so fickle about war, and we always haven been.

God Bless America.              Whens the last time any of us heard that?   been a while for me.
