Mike  McCarty YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN ! Fellow veteran SGT E-5 7th Infantry d.m.z Korea 68/69. 'Empty Chairs at Empty Tables' from Les Miserables Oh my friends , my friends forgive me that I live and you are gone.
There's a grief that can't be spoken there's a pain goes on and on
Phantom faces at the window. Phantom shadows on the floor.
Empty chairs at empty tables where my friends will meet no more.
Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me what your sacrifice was for.
Empty chairs at empty tables where my friends will sing no more...

Mike Smith mmsmit@aol.com Friend, of the family 7715, Parfet St., Arvada, CO., 80005, USA Danny was the younger brother, of one of my best friends, Rudy Castillo. We all ran around together, as kids. Danny was, a couple years younger than me, but he always wanted to be, with his older brothers and friends. He was always a happy kid, although, all of us, were poor. I went, in the Marine Corps a couple years, before he did and recall that, when he got his uniform, he was so proud. The day of his funeral, in Saginaw, MI., we had a huge snow storm. Maybe it was Danny's way, of telling us his spirit, was still around. He left us way, to soon and has been missed, ever since. God, hold him in the palm, of your hand and keep him safe. Apr 1, 2008
Fellow Marine Well done Marine rest in peace THE TIME you won your town the race We chaired you through the market-place Man and boy stood cheering by, And home we brought you shoulder-high. To-day, the road all runners come, Shoulder-high we bring you home, And set you at your threshold down, Townsman of a stiller town. Smart lad, to slip betimes away From fields where glory does not stay And early though the laurel grows It withers quicker than the rose. Eyes the shady night has shut Cannot see the record cut, And silence sounds no worse than cheers After earth has stopped the ears: Now you will not swell the rout Of lads that wore their honours out, Runners whom renown outran And the name died before the man. So set, before its echoes fade, The fleet foot on the sill of shade, And hold to the low lintel up The still-defended challenge-cup. And round that early-laurelled head Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead, And find unwithered on its curls The garland briefer than a girl’s. A.E. Housman, "Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you. I've called your name. You're mine. Isaiah 43:1 (REN) Semper Fi! Jan 22, 2008
