Bio and Links
Bio Photo I'm from Minneapolis, MN and have lived in this area all my life. I'm a proud veteran and spent 3 years in the army and I served two tours of duty in Viet Nam, (late 1969-1972.) I was wounded twice. I was assigned to The First Cavalry Division and was in the infantry and then a combat engineer & operated a bulldozer & later I was assigned to aviation and was a crew chief/door gunner on a UH-1 Huey helicopter. I'm a recipient of the Bronze Star, two Purple Hearts, two Air Medals, two Commendation Medals, Good Conduct Medal, Combat Infantryman Badge, Aircraft Crewman Wings, & a Marksman Rifle Medal.
I'm a former local truck driver of 35 years and a former part time fire photographer for seven years. I was forced to retire in 2004 due to back problems. Now I spend time listing interments. I'm registered here as a photo volunteer. I fill the photo requests for Fort Snelling National Cemetery. If you see ANY FT. Snelling memorials with a mistake or missing plots & sections or need a spouse/parents links added please let me know and I will get it corrected or updated.
I do appreciate you visiting Aaron's memorial and for all of your kind words. Thank you so much. It has helped a lot with the passing of my beloved Aaron. Aaron was a blessing and I miss him so much.
If you see anything that I have submitted that needs correction, please let me know. I will be happy to correct it.

Hi, Steve,

Thank you, first, for your service to our country.

Thank you, second, for the photo of Joseph Morey's marker at Ft. Snelling. I really appreciate all of the work you do to honor our veterans, and assist their families in being able to see their markers.

Take care.

Appreciative
Wow! You were so quick in fulfilling my request for a photo of Joette Frisco's headstone at Ft. Snelling! And can I say what an amazing photo it is, crisp with wonderful color. Do you do any editing before uploading? Some of my images tend to look 'washed out' and I love how you always have such great tone in your images. Thank you again and I hope the weather was agreeable with your day of 'Graveyarding' (term I say just recently that fits our addiction here). Warmly, Helen Murphy, Tennessee

Steve: Thank you so very much for transferring Barbara to me and for taking the photos of both she and her husband Russell.
You are doing a wonderful service being a photo volunteer. Volunteers have helped me so much here on findagrave. They have gone out of their way for me.
What a wonderful tribute to your son Aaron. I finally got around to reading it. May he rest in Peace and may you have comfort knowing of your love for him.
Best Wishes,

Thanks!
Steve,

Thank you very much for taking the photo of David R. Persons. Your photo is GREAT as it is clear, close up and you can read the markings on the stone. It add so much more to the memorial. Thank you again for your time and effort to take this shot! Well Done!
