My Grandfather is someone whom I have never been able to meet. He died before I was born. I have always heard wonderful stories about how great a man/person he was. My grandmother misses him daily. I believe he was her one and only, taken far to soon. I can only imagine how he was in life. I know he was a Husband, father,and brother. From the pictures I have seen he was full of life and always happy. I would love to hear from anyone who knew or meet my grandfather. Bridget Trammel

At Long Last I Am In Your Presence Again! My devoted Uncle, I am working diligently in service to the local Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter as we bring a replica of the Wall to Fort Lauderdale. I was amazed at the sense of loss that I felt as I found your name in the record book used to read the names at the event. I have thought of you daily for the passed several months and continue to see you in my minds eye, the big smile, the always pressed uniform, the sound of your voice. While your wife and child have left this world of recent years, there are others that remain that continue to love and miss you. Thank you for your service not only to our country but also to our family. Charles Lowe, Nephew, Fort Lauderdale FL 33312.
