MY UNCLE..U.S.ARMY PARATROOPER
I was very young when my uncle passed away.But I have such fond & loving memories of him & the many times when our families got together.He & my Dad were very close..He was married to Odette Borders & together they had four children.
He loved his country & was a dedicated soldier up until his death.I will never forget him....

Tread lightly, 'tis a soldiers grave,
A lonely, mossy mound;
And yet to hearts like mine and thine
It should be holy ground ~
===== ೋღ☃ღೋ =====
Speak softly, let no careless laugh,
No idle, thoughtless jest,
Escape your lips where sweetly sleeps
The hero in his rest ~
===== ೋღ☃ღೋ =====
For him no reveille will beat
When morning beams shall come;
For him, at night, no tattoo rolls
Its thunders from the drum ~
===== ೋღ☃ღೋ =====
Tread lightly! for a man bequeathed,
Ere laid beneath this sod,
His ashes to his native land,
His gallant soul to God ~
