Doesn't seem right to let Memorial Day pass

without remembering Darwin Judge, from Marshalltown, Iowa, one of the last two servicemen killed in Vietnam. He was only nineteen .... I knew him, slightly, he was just a very nice kid .... only nineteen, forever nineteen.

My dad is strong on my mind and heart this weekend. He was a WWII vet... A medic in the Army. I'm really missing him, but so grateful he's not here to see all the nazis he fought marching down our city streets, ready to take over our country from the inside. I honestly don't know what kind of trouble we'd get into if he was here, but I know we'd not be sitting just reading about it. I miss him so much.
