My Dad was a great example, and I am honored to have served as he did and his father before him.

I am voting in 2004 in honor of my father, Austin C. Billings. He served his county with pride and determination during the Pacific campaign. I was his little girl waiting for him to return. And, I thank God that he did. I have the letters he wrote to me and a pair of tiny shoes woven by hand from native materials in the Phillipines. They hang by a pink bow in my den as a reminder of Dad's love for me while in the service of our country.
Forever in Our Hearts.
We love you and miss you very dearly. You did a wonderful job in fighting the war for your country. Your family misses you very dearly. You will always be remembered in our thoughts and prayers.

I am honoring my father, who served with the U.S. Marines during WWII.
To my hero, I am thankful every day for my freedoms because of your sacrifices. You still battle emotional scars, but always know I will be forever by your side to help ease the pain and to tell you I love you.
During WWI, my Grandmother served bravely on the front in France, as a Nurse in a MASH unit. In the operating room she met her future husband, Dr. Harold Grant Tobey, my Grandfather. Later, their son, Harold Grant Tobey, Jr. served and died as a result of WWII.
Thank you all.
To honor you for making the world a better, safer place, near and far. I'm proud of you!
