Thank-you all for serving our country

As an 'outsider', an Englishman, and as a WW2 researcher for a hobby, I recognise those that have 'done good' - and this gent was one of them. Because of the likes of him, patrolling dangerous waters whilst we slept in our beds, we were ABLE to sleep in those beds. We did not think of the might patrolling our waters, but they were there, unseen, silent, protecting.

I contacted the site that was linked and sent a message (as a none American, I am not allowed to join it) and their reply was gracious and wonderful. I have been 'accepted' as an honorary member!! I cannot join but there in spirit, what a lovely thought.

Speak his name, never will he be gone .............

Wonderful story Catherine, and truly faith is like the hickory, and it grows stronger as we practice it. So wonderful to see this sharing of special stories and memories, for that will be such a help for the Captain's loved ones in the days and years to come, the memories will be a bond for love to flow between him and all of you. God Bless you all and have a wonderful day.

Salute
