I am the proud daughter to a great soldier who climbed the cliffs on Omaha beach, the first team. How a boy of 17 years is ready to do this I'll never know. I think around June 3rd is when his boats were loaded to head there. He was wounded twice, two purple hearts and lived to come home with a beautiful french bride who worked for the red cross over there, a beautiful woman who was in this country for 67 years with her man till they just passed away. If that isn't a love story I don't know what is. A FATHER TO BE PROUD OF!

Dad, I don't think you really know how much your service relly means to us. How many men lived to climb those cliffs at OMAHA BEACH. All those medals and PURPLE HEARTS (2) will always be treasured. Our Veterans are the best, all of you wherever you served. Greatest of all you brought back the most treasured thing with you, MY MOM. Thank you Dad. They had 67 beautiful years. She just passed at 90 years young, still with that cute french accent. I just wish our vets in Wells got as much Attention in Augusta. They seem forgotten.

You never returned from the conflict; you never got to learn why you and the many others were even over there; and you never got the honor that you deserved for staying there when you could have come home. I have missed you since 1966..and now that I am the last in our immediate family alive, I want to put it in writing that I am very proud of you. I will miss you forever.Love, Your Little Sis

My Uncle Ronnie fought as a US Army Special Forces Medic in Vietnam he was killed in 1967 long before I was born, but to this day he has affected a lot that I do. In 2005 I joined the US Army and went airborne soon after and was sent to Iraq in the fall of 2006. I wore my Uncles jump wings on my dog tags every day. I am sorry that I never had the chance to meet this man but to this day he is my hero and I try to live up to the things that he did.
