Local Veterans

This great nation, has time and time again, called on its young men to take up arms and defend our freedom. From the time that our ancesters stepped off the Mayflower at Plymoth Rock until World Trade Center 9-11-2001, leaders have said, "we shall make those who transgress against us pay". The youth of this nation have gone forth, stood fast in battle and defeated the enemies of The United States of America. We have lost some battles but always won the war. Those lost battles that I recall in my lifetime, 1941 Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; 1951 Chosin Reservoir, North Korea; 1965 Ia Drang Vally, South Vietnam, and the 2001 World Trade Center, New York City. Only those who have faced an enemy trying to stay alive can understand the fear and terror of battle. There is no glory in war, no shame in being afraid, only pain and suffering for the unfortunate ones whose bodies were maimed, minds scarred and recovery, a long hard struggle. Those who lost their lives will never be forgotten by their comrades, almost 50 years after my first expsoure to combat, I sometimes hear the screams of agony, see the terror in my comrades faces and hear their last ragged breaths, endured a terror that only those who have been there understand.
  This page is dedicated to all who have served their country. Please e-mail their names, dates of service, conflict, and if they were killed in action, wounded in action, if they are living or deceased and the branch they served (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine or Coast Guard).
