It’s Memorial Day weekend and I am so grateful for your service to our country, and for all those who have served, or who have lost a loved one, for our freedom. You didn’t like to talk about Korea much , but we know it wasn’t easy and that you witnessed, in a very personal way, just how horrific war can be. Yet, you still served two tours of duty and brought home 3 Bronze Stars. It’s been 21 years and 18 days since you left us and Jack, Jim and I miss you each and every day. You were our rock and source of strength and grounding. I can see your sense of humor in the boys. Pops, you would be so proud of your kids, grandkids and great grandkids. We’ve done OK and we keep your memory alive by remembering all the driving, hiking, fishing and camping stories we hold so dear. We are proud to say that you served in our Armed Forces. Thank you Pops, and all those who have gone before and after you, for the freedom we have today.
In Memory of Jack E. Webb, b: 1/11/1932, d: 4/10/1990
