This is a photo of SSGT Eveartt O. Givens and his granddaughter Cheyenne Harrison. The high school here in Perry Okla. had a tribute to the military for veteran's day 2009. Unknown to him she found a marine uniform and totally keeping quite about the tribute she surprised her grandpa. I think you can tell from this photo he was surprised and proud of his oldest grandchild She made sure everything was just right not a hair out of place or a shoe unpolished. She made her grandpa proud that day. This year on January 31,2011 we laid this proud marine to rest. He leaves us with heavy hearts but knowing that this marine was promoted to guard the gates of heaven.( We all had this t-shirt on at the family receving friends night.) The traditions continues with several of his nephew's becoming marines. You are missed and loved more than you ever knew.
Thank you,
