Carlton- 3rd son of Charles & Mary Ruth who bore 4 boys & 2 girls, Born on a hot sunny day in May, 2 miles from Double Run, Ga. I was almost 9 and vividly remember having a pesky little brother to watch along with your pesky little sister. I joined the Army when you were 8 years old. Sad to say I didn't see much of you after that. I do recall that you were always over impressed with my uniform- Such as my return from Vietnam in 1967. That is the last time that I saw you. You, Like your two older brothers, served your country. Your brothers gave some. You gave your ALL. I never told you "THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE" because you were stubborn & kept extending in Vietnam. Little Brother, Thank You For Your Service - Stanley E. Dixon US Army (RET)
