Sgt Grit,
I’m so thankful, I thought I would send you a photo taken of me greeting my wife at a local airport. The photographer won a pulitzer prize for the photo in 1966, when I arrived home on a leave from Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland.

Sgt. Grit,
Here is the picture of my father-in-laws concrete flag, it is situated at the Veterans Wall of Honor in Wasilla Alaska. This wall was established about 7 years ago and Joe (my father-in-laws name) Sweeney had a big part in this whole ordeal. Marines seem to be at the helm of quite afew Patriotic movements. I am sending other pics of the wall a.s.a.p.

Sgt Grit,
Here are two pictures my wife took the last time we were home in upstate New York. This War Memorial is at the State Fair Grounds in Syracuse. The first picture here is of the seal. The other is of my families tribute. Of this group of bricks, 19 of these names are family members (in include myself).
