Austin C. Billings

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.

Anna Marie Sundburg Tobey

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.
