THANK YOU

Voodoo:
I use to use Memorial day as an excuse to party and have a good time, and that was my choice, afforded me by those that served(including myself,USN 80-83) and those that gave their lives, but that all changed on April 25th 2005, when my son, just 3 weeks home from Iraq, was killed by a drunk driver, today as with every Memorial day since, my family has gathered for a somber cookout to remember not only him, but all the others that this holiday is meant for, tears have flowed here today, and will as long as we breath the air of freedom that meant so much to them, remember them in any way you see fit, that is what they would have wanted, the key in this is not how you remember them, but only that you do...... that my friends is the freedom they afforded us......I post this in honor of my son Spc.Dustin R. Hartley who sat with me and watched the Towers fall on 9-11 and joined the very next day..........You did good son, I miss you every day.......Steve Hartley,Proud Gold Star Father!
