With a sober heart we pray
On this solemn Memorial Day
And recall those who gave their all
So that our Nation yet stands tall
So many wars and rivers of tears
Shed by mothers, fathers, and dears
They sacrificed their lives for us
As did our Lord … so long ago
Dear Lord, have mercy on those who serve
Love them, protect them, bring them home
Bless them Lord, and should they die
Take them home with you to abide.
For it is said, ā … no greater love than this
A man gives up his life for a friend.ā
With this in mind, we must recall
Those who gave us … their all.

I was directed to this page by Koji Kanemoto. I was unable to register so this may be going to a dead box. I am searching for a man called Doolittle who lives/lived in the DC area of Virginia. I met him 10-15 years ago and do not remember his first name. I would like to verify some facts from a fantastic story he told me. My contact is powyccommodore@yahoo.com.
