Veteran Dennis "Mailman" Wayne Craig,25,April,Phoenix, Arizona
I received a call a little while ago from Lee, a Brother to this American
Warrior. He told me that Dennis "Mailman" was a beloved Brother since 1997
and would be missed by many and many were coming from around the world to
honor him. Full Military honors including "Missing Man" formation of open
cockpit Spearman Fighter planes.
US Army, Viet Nam Veteran. He served in Nam 1967-1968 Company A 35th
Engineering Battalion as a Sgt.
He is survived by his Mother and Stepfather Jane and David, and his HAMC
Brothers around the world.
Patriot Guard Riders will be honored to stand the flag line for this
American Warrior. We will line the drive as this Hero passes and fall in
behind the procession. One American Flag and the Army flag bikes will pull
on front of the hearse as it enters the gates.

A Mother asked President Bush, "Why did my Child have to die in Iraq?" Another Mother asked President Kennedy,"Why did my Child have to die in Vietnam?" Another Mother asked President Truman, "Why did my Child have to die in Korea?" Another Mother asked President F.D. Roosevelt,"Why did my Child have to die at Iwo Jima ?" Another Mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my Child have to die on the battlefield of France ?" Yet another Mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my Child have to die at Gettysburg ?" And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?" Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same. One died to save our Souls and the others died to protect our Freedoms. |
