From Dad
"You were so young, so handsome and fair. You loved to fly, So you took to the air. You longed to wander You wanted to soar. So in the wild blue yonder, You are there forevermore. We miss your smile, Your humor and jest. You went the last mile. You gave it your best. We will see you somewhere, When our race is run. So please be there. We miss you, my son!" This poem was written by Floyd K. Layton, Ron's father, to be left at the Wall in 1988 by his sisters, Barb Scheibel and Pat Wickersham. Dad passed away on September 7, 2001. They are together again.

The Uncle I Never Knew
Mom was pregnant with me when you died. She named me after you even though I was a girl. I have asked her about you often throughout my life. I feel like I know you through her memories but wish I could have known you! Now I have lost my big brother and realize that my children ages 4 and 2 will have to know him through my memories. I know you have met Shawn again and that comforts me. I'm so proud of my uncle Ronnie and hope my namesake is proud of me. Tell my brother I miss him. Love your niece, Roni

My Guardian Angel
For as long as I can remember you have always been with me. Like Roni, my mother, Barb, was pregnant when you left us. My first memory of you is my name. I have always taken great pride in correcting people on the spelling. I was named for you and I wanted everyone to know it! Learning the lesson of freedom began with you. Love of country and those that protect it was built on stories of your bravery and pride in serving your country. As Grandpa Layton, Grandma Jewell, and Cousin Shawn have come home to God this year, it was of great comfort to know you were there to show them the way. I know you are always with me, guiding me through my life. I am very blessed. Until the day we will finally meet, my thoughts and love are with you. Much love - Ronda

Thank You
Talked to your sister last night Ron or I guess I should say Sir, you are a officer, no I think I'll call you Ron. Looked at your picture tonight for a hour and cried, that gives me the right to call you Ron.I don't know you, but I do.I know what you stood for.I know you have a loving family.I know you are a true American, and gave ALL you had to be one.I know you saved lives by risking your own.I was on the ground I know what it's like to call for air support. "Where do you want it Ranger 35?" " Put it on the treeline" Yea, we loved you guys. Men like you are the reason I got home,a little banged up but still got home, THANK YOU.Some will say you died in vain, but they won't say it to me, I'll not hear that.We"ll meet some day and have a cold beer, if it's really Heaven you know they have cold beer.

You know Christmas really sucked this year for a lot of people because you were not here. But then I guess you had more important things to do. That's what Heroes do The important things. God bless you and your family. I will not forget! Your friend, Larry
