Hi Everyone,
ReplyDeleteWe all recently enjoyed a wonderful Memorial Day and Forth of July, with family and friends. I just wanted to remember one of our fallen soldiers from Box Elder High School class of 1967. His name is listed on the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington D.C. panel W116, Line 86.
As a Vietnam Era Veteran, I honor those who served, especially our friend Jerry, wishing all health, happiness, and love.
