Richard Germaine ricgermaine@yahoo.com Grandfather's second wife's son 11524 E 119th Ave Henderson CO 80640 US Irwin was a real good man Irwin was the son of Henrietta (Kitty) Edelman Smith, who was my grandfather's second wife, after my grandmother passed away from cancer. Irwin was always a really great guy, always finding time to play basketball with me or ping-pong. A truly nice man. After graduating with a BA from NY Inst of Technology, he enlisted in the Army. 9 weeks after he was deployed he drowned. None of us relatives really know what happened. He is thought of fondly and greatly missed. Mar 2, 2010
Manuel Pino B/2/8th Cav 68-69 mpjr54@msn.com Fellow Vietnam Army Vet E/75th Inf Rgt, 9th Inf Div The young dead soldiers do not speak. Nevertheless, they are heard in the still houses: who has not heard them? They have a silence that speaks for them at night and when the clock counts. They say: We were young. We have died. Remember us. They say: We have done what we could but until it is finished it is not done. They say: We have given our lives but until it is finished no one can know what our lives gave. They say: Our deaths are not ours: they are yours, they will mean what you make them. They say: Whether our lives and our deaths were for peace and a new hope or for nothing we cannot say, it is you who must say this. We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning. We were young, they say. We have died remember us. by Archibald MacLeish, 1892-1982, American Poet Mar 2, 2008
