Poppa-
I miss you everyday and I am so very proud to be your grandaughter, thank you for your service as a USMC Gunnary Sgt, I know what you gave up to enlist. You would be glad to know a full ride to Duke these days is worth a really lot of cash. And you would do the same again.
I love you, and I taught my kids that word you made me learn on the patio that day, and they know it came from you.

I am lucky to say that I dont know of anyone personally that lost their lives to the war or who lost their lives defending our great country. But lives of humans were lost that I didn’t know and it hurts to think that. We are all brothers and sisters, and someone that I hadn’t met yet was killed defending me & my freedom. Thank you. I am sorry for families that have lost dear souls that can never be replaced, that is so tragic.
John Paul Ireland: USA staff sergeant Army Corps of Engineers 221 st Special Forces. Not everyone who dies for their country dies in a foreign field. Some bring back home with them the diseases that years later take their lives. Part of never forgetting their sacrifices is making sure that they have military health care for the rest of their lives. Not many midwest doctors know how to treat malaria adequately. You were loved and appreciated by all who knew you and in these years without you, I have come to realize how rare and precious a truly good man is. He served two deployments in Viet Nam when only one was necessary, because there were men under his command who were still in country. He didn’t come home until they all could. Greater love hath no man…beloved husband. (thanks Blink)
William E. Haire. Passed June 1988. My step-father. Served in the U.S.A.F in Vietnam, re-enlisted in the Army in 1984. He was my ‘Daddy’. He gave me my step-brother W. S. Haire who is my hero..P.I. and now chef. God brought two wonderful men into my life at the same time. He has brought one home, but left me the other for memories.
Dad– every morning when I get up, I still want to reach for the phone to call you so we can talk about how beautiful the day is (no matter the weather or circumstances). I am so glad that you finally told me of many of your experiences during World War II and I am very proud that you taught me how truth, honor, charity, and loyalty are creeds to live by and not just merely speak. I miss your wisdom, I miss your laughter, and I miss hearing you call me your “pretty girl.” Yet you remain a presence in my life everyday and part of my purpose in this life is to teach and be an example of what being an American and a Christian are all about. I know that you know, but Mom really misses you too. Looking forward to seeing you again where there is no sorrow and no pain — what a day of rejoicing that will be!
Dad and Leo-
I now understand your decisions to take the walk in life you chose, and to fulfill a personal duty to our country. As many of our ancestors before you, I am proud to be called your daughter and sister. It comforts me to know that you are together in a place where pain no longer exists. I miss you both and carry a special pride from your service. I am so very proud of you both, though your paths so very different from each other. Thank you for your service and for the pride and memories you gave me!

To Those I know, and those I don’t…
Thank you for fighting and laying down your life so that I am free to live in the best country on Earth. Thank you for allowing me to live my oppulent life and keeping the foe far from my home. Prayers and Peace to those who grieve and to those who sacrifice…
Keeks,
I miss you with every part of me. I think of you each and every minute of the day. May you rest in peace in the arms of the Lord always. I’m so very proud of you son and you will forever be in my heart. The world will never be the same without you in it. I’m so honored and blessed to have you as a son. I’ve never known anyone braver than you. I Love You and Will Miss You Forever.

Within the context of school activiities, baseball, etc. his son has earned a reputation for being “strange”. Another word which could be used is “retarded”.
I’m afraid one day he’s going to “snap”.
Dad has been told in no uncertain terms to “keep your son away from my child”.
They tell me some of these concerned parents have called Child Protective Services regarding this issue.
Dad has showed his 7 year old son hard pornography in an attempt to ensure he doesn’t become gay. Ironically, now the boy has a fascination with penis. Appropriate, because they say dad gets excited with trannys::::He wants to lift her skirt and fondle her penis.
He sure married the right girl.
Parenting classes would be in order. And a little psychoanalysis.
The Gods tested his attraction to transsexuals by sending people by, likely during the period where he felt he had to prove he was a “real man”, ironically.
Fruit loop.
