TO HONOR A MARINE
HONOR What that one word means. It is only five letters yet it is possible that those letters are longer and because of MEN and WOMEN like this HERO, take on a greater meaning so selfless of them selves. To give their life's so that others may walk Freely down a street and enjoy the Liberties we have in PEACE.
YES HONOR is what we must do for them now and all day going forward SEMPER FI!

Dear Dad
When I think about you there are so many things I want to remember. I want to remember walking hand in hand with you. I want to remember you reading me a bedtime story. I want to remember you throwing me in the air and catching me or riding high up on your shoulders. I want to remember the little things. I also want to remember the big things...teaching me to ride a bike, helping me with homework, threatening a first boyfriend, seeing me graduate, walking me down the aisle. But my memory jar is empty. You left to soon. I was too young.
Though I didn't know you, you taught me the most valuable lessons in life. You taught me to be strong. You taught me to bear pain. You taught me about honor, valor and what it means to die for a cause ... for God and country. Big lesson for a little girl who just misses having a daddy. But life lesson for the adult daughter of a hero. You may think that I was too young, that I would miss it all, you may think I didn't see, that I hadn't heard, but I got every life lesson that you taught me even though you weren't here. I got every word, it's written on my heart. Without you I wouldn't be woman I am today. Even without your physical presence, I've grown up with your values, understanding your courage, knowing your sacrifice, with you as my foundation.
You weren't there when I skinned my knee to chase away my tears to help me when things were hard in school to guide me through my fears as I navigated life. When I was old enough to drive a car, it wasn't you who taught me how. But you have always been my guiding star teaching me about righteousness, justice, morality and honor. So this memorial day I say a prayer and thank the Lord for the father I never knew but taught me so very much. Semper Fi, Captain Lawrence W Jordan USMC, 1932-1965.

Captian Jordan,
On this Memorial Day weekend the Glancy family remembers you. While I was too young to remember you in person, my mother Catherine (Kit) remembers you so very well and misses you. As the son of a Marine that served whenever his country called, I want to thank you for the sacrifice you gave to this great country and want your family to know you are remembered and your contribution lives on to this very day. I and our country thank you and your family and we owe you both a debt that simply cannot be repaid. Chris Glancy, Son of Lt Col Robert F. Glancy (deceased)
