to honor our own...


My Uncle Wallace, shown here with my mother, entered the service at the end of World War II and then reenlisted to serve again in the Korean War. He was part of the landing at Inchon, was missing in action for two weeks, and came home with three purple hearts. He is also one of the finest men I have ever known.

I love you, Uncle Wallace. Thank you for your service.

Nice, one of the lonely hearts club. They are always so young, and so brave.

I'd love to see a picture of you at this age. I'll bet you look like your Mom.
