"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself"

Biggie, we thank you for your service to our country when such service was sometimes frowned upon by others. It will be an honor to pay you the Honor and Respect you earned so many decades ago but most likely did not receive. May God grant you safe passage as you approach the Gates of Heaven.
May your family, friends and community find healing in God's comfort and mercy. May they understand you continue to watch over them daily.
Stand at ease Biggie. Your tour of duty is now complete. God Speed.
Respects,
Joe |
