    Memorial Day 2010

    By DK | May 28, 2010 |


    From Dover to Philadelphia, Philadelphia to Minneapolis, Minneapolis to Billings, Billings to Riverton, and Riverton to Dubois, we had been together. Now, as I watched them carry him the final fifteen yards, I was choking up. I felt that, as long as he was still moving, he was somehow still alive. Then they positioned him over his grave. He had stopped moving.

    Now, he was home to stay and I suddenly felt at once sad, relieved, and useless. It had been my honor to take Chance Phelps to his final post. Now he is on the high ground overlooking his town.

    I miss him.

      Amen…

      My nephew just recentely joined the Army. Before he enlisted, as if I couldn’t already guess what his answer would be, I asked him why he wanted to join. His reply, “because I want my kids to live in a safer America than what I’ve grown up in, and I want to do my part”…
      He’s 19.
