simpleflyer | 23-Jun-14 00:44 | I sat on the bench for a few moments and thoughtfully read all of the text inscribed in the marble, paid my respects for the fallen heros and said a prayer and made a promise to heed the comment at the end: WE WILL NOT FORGET. After being at the memorial, David, I can understand your passion and effort of being a part of this experience. By keeping these guys in our memory and soul, we help keep them alive in a way. BTW, the Buffs were flying that day so we had the opportunity of seeing these magnificent birds in their intended element. |
David Duckett | 23-Jun-14 05:06 | Thank you for visiting and your thoughts and prayers. Since this memorial was erected, new information has come to light. A Silver Star was awarded posthumously to MSGT James Calfee for his actions that night. Even though shot in the face, he managed to return fire. MSGT Calfee was from Texas. The Silver Star is the nation's third highest military decoration. |
