My name is Trish and I am working to create a memory garden for all those lost since 911, whether they were killed in action or came home to think that suicide was the only way to escape their terrible memories and pain. I want to create a memory book for each soldier I can find information on as well as have a brass plaque (like the ones on trophies) made to put on a metal rod and place in the memory garden. The plaques will contain name, date and place of birth along with date and place of death. These men and women all need to be remembered for the heroes they are. If you can give us any pictures or other information on one of our soldiers please contact me at trishglore@gmail.com. Thank you, Trish
RIP FLYBOY!
Rest Well in God’s Arms Sir. Thanking you and your family for your service and sacrifice. May you finally find peace.
I am a friend of his Mom, Kathy Anthe. No mother should ever have to endure such heartache. My heart breaks for such a kind and loving person that she is and I am positive that her son was the same. I cannot imagine how she will always feel about the loss of her son. God bless both of them.
