I could not begin to do justice to Guy Kemper. My cousin, John Kemper, has done an excellent job though, making Guy real to everybody.

I was raised hearing about him, but when he was spoken of, my Grandmother hurt so bad, that it was difficult. He was a hero, and somebody that I always looked up to, even if he was just represented by the photo that you see on this website, which sat on top of their big radio.

There is also another site for him at the Manila Memorial, found here: 1Lt Guy Harmon Kemper. Thanks so much for honoring Lt. Guy H. Kemper.
