TheWall

Thursday, May 22, 2008 Elizabeth City, NC

As Memorial Day approaches, I hope that everybody will give some thought to ... what it was intended to be .... Memorial Day is a time to remember .... We're forever indebted to them, and to the loved ones they left behind.

...

As for me, I'll be remembering all those who have fallen, and doing my best to keep their memory alive. I'll do that not just on Memorial Day, but every day.

~Curtis Brooks Recon 1/16/1, Jun '67 - Jun '68
