Memorial Day was probably a bigger holiday to my dad than any other throughout the year. Thank You to all of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
William F. Edwards, USMC
July 9,1925 - July 21, 1944. He was killed by a mortar round on the island of Guam just a couple weeks after his 19th birthday. I am saddened that I never had the honor to have met him, and from listening to my dad talk about him for the very few precious years he was a mortal on this earth he was a man that was a "man's man". RIP Uncle Bill.
Needlepoint of a letter that my uncle wrote to my dad shortly before his death. It's almost like he knew he wasn't going to ever going to make it out alive.
