We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother For Lt., Bob Byrnes.
And Gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here And hold their manhoods cheap while any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day. He that shall live this day and see old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbors, and say tomorrow is Saint Crispian. Then he will strip his sleeve and show his scars. And say, these wounds I had on Crispin’s day. Henry V, Act 4, Scene 3, Wm. Shakespeare

We served together
His parents and grandparents used to send him care packages, for us all to enjoy, while we were in Nam. I'll always remember.

In Remembrance, of My Forever, Friend
Robert Scott Byrnes, better known to me as Bob, was a great friend! I still remember his smile, because his smile could light up, a room. He was so full, of life. He was not only a good friend, but also a good soldier. He loved his dog, Genral, who bravely waited for his retrun. He gave his life, to save others. His scarifice, is not forgotten. Someday, I will see him again, in Heaven. Bob, you, are not forgotten. Ernestine Bell Papovitch

Bob Byrnes of Carmichael, Ca.
I'am 16, years old, from a small town, in Sacramento County, Califorina. I'am a junior there. My class wanted to do something special, for the people who lost their lives, in the wars we are planting tree's in your honor, at ou school with you name, at these trees. The war that we are going though right now, gives my generation an idea, for what you and your generation, went though. For all the struggles you had, to fight though. I have family members, over fighting for this country, just like you did. I'am honored and proud, to say that. I just wanted to thank you, for your services and courage, and for all, that you went though. I hope my family members, will be as strong and brave, as you were. You will always, be remembered and treasured, for your services.

Unselfishly, Bob you left, your father and your mother, You left behind your brother and new wife, Leaving your beloved, You put on hold your dreams, your lives. On foreign soil, you found yourself planted, To fight for those whose freedom, you granted. Without your sacrifice, their cause would be lost, But you carried onward, no matter the cost. Many horrors, you had endured and seen. Many faces had haunted, your dreams. You cheered as your enemies, littered the ground. You cried as your brothers, fell all around. When it was over, you all came back home, Some were left with memories, to face all alone. Some found themselves in the company of friends, As their crosses cast shadows, across the land. Those who survived, were forever scarred Emotionally, physically, permanently marred. Those who did not, now sleep eternally Beneath the ground, they had given their lives, to keep us free. With a hand upon my heart, I feel The pride and respect, my reverence is revealed In the tears that now stream down my upturned face, As our flag waves above you, in her glory and grace. Freedom was the gift, that you unselfishly gave, Pain and death was the price, that you ultimately paid. Every day, I give my utmost admiration, To those who had fought to defend, our nation.
