I read a saying some time ago. I hope I quote it correctly. It says: If they are remembered then truly they are not gone, but merely on another patrol. I have used that quote often. ------------- DLAshley |

The Chaplin at the Willamette National Cemetery monthly memorial told us that everyone dies twice. Once when we leave this earth. And, second when no one remembers us. Our job as the ones left is to make sure these people are always remembered so that they never die entirely. ------------- EM1(SS) USS PLUNGER (SSN-595) HOLLAND Club USSVI LIFE Member Blueback Base, Rogue-Umpqua Base, Olympic Peninsula Base |
