They're waiting, yes, they are. Thank you. I am sorry about your father, My God! Mine served in Korea. 8th Army under both Walker and then Ridgeway. He was at the Chosin Reservoir. I have never ever done this on this site but I will for you after reading this. I have a little poem called One Last Request From The Fallen Heroes. It might speak to you. I wrote it based on what I heard from my father and others. Regards, Gerard

You summed up all your emotions and sarrow in three lines. Americans, especially ones close to your heart who lost their life fighting for this country. Enjoy your day.:)
