[Ohio-talk] Celebrat Tomorrow

[wanda sloan]

Happy Veterans Day!
My father Sergeant Richard Hartzell Sloan Jr. served with the 92 ND. 
battalion in Italy, the same battalion as Film Producer and Actor, Spike 
Lee's father served.  My father received accommodations and a purple heart.
My brother Richard H. Sloan III. served in Vietnam.  He was a Transmission 
Communications Specialist and worked in the mountains.Fortunately he did not 
see much action.  After serving 18 months, he wasss sent home on a hardship 
discharge because he had to attend our father's funeral.  My father's home 
going to heaven was April 3, 1968, the same date that Dr. Rev. Martin Luther 
King was killed.

HiJ. W.
My grandfather and uncle were in the military.
My dad was also in for a short time and that is way I was born on a Naval 
Base.
I volunteer for Navy Marine Corps Mars because we provide Emergency 
Communications and help families keep intouch. We also send messages to 
veterans in facilities.
Iagree with you. Let's remember and pray for our soldiers and their 
families.
However you feel about war we still need to support our soldiers and their 
families and pray for those who were killed or wounded.
Let's also pray for the family of the Major who killed these people.
God Bless!
Colleen Roth
