Memorial Day

So intially I posted this on my Facebook page: "Tomorrow we celebrate those who have paid the ultimate price for all of us and for those who are still doing so. I wish the best for my friend Zack, and this one goes out to my shipmtes ET2 Glenn Poston, and SM3 Max DeJesus, sleep with angeles my brothers. Trumpets, violins, I hear them in the distanceAnd my skin emits a ray, but I think it's sad, it's much too badThat our friends can't be with us today." I sampled a bit of Patti Smith's Elegy at the end. My wife and buddy The Red Wolf commented that I should have singled these two cats out as they didn't die during wartime or their service. Actually ET2 Glenn "Geebo" Poston did, however he was killed when he was struck and killed by an auto at his duty station in the Central Valley. Max, on the other hand was UA from the Nav and murdered by a Coloumbian gangster. That's Max in the top pic looking all drunk, and throwing his scurvy arm around my neck and Geebo below standing a quarterdeck watch in Mayport, FLA
