Was a proud POW/MIA Flag Bearer in an Honor Guard today.

Took part as a member of the Valhalla American Legion Post 1038 Honor Guard. Pretty good feeling honoring and remembering all of the fallen veterans and their families.

Veterans remembered in Valhalla to kick off Memorial Day weekend

Thanks for your efforts and service Terry. I wear a POW/MIA hat and have for years. I wear it for Lt. Barton Creed lost in Laos. He was alive on the ground but never recovered. Several got killed trying to get him out. And for Lt. James "Dudley" Spore. He was a friend of my Dad's. An Army Aviator who went down in the Coral Sea. At one time he was listed in the things I researched as FOD. Best I can figure is for flight overdue. He was a transport pilot. I know his Niece and told her of the things I'd found and she thanked me as that was more than the family ever knew. (He had left a base in Australia and never made it to his destination)
I've been thanked for my service several times. I tell them "I wasn't there but I still care" and then tell them about those 2 guys.
Thanks again for your good deed Terry and good luck.
