Minutemen NewsThank You Veterans! - Minutemen News
Thank You to my Brother, Richard Edlund, who served on the USS Kitty Hawk during the height of the Vietnam War, to my uncle's, Eddie and Patrick Beckman, who bravely fought in WWII and the Korean War, to my children's much missed Uncle, Dennis Getchell, who served two consecutive tours of duty at the height of the Vietnam War, to his Father, Clarence Ray Getchell, the highest decorated Chief Petty Officer in the United States Navy during WWII...who went in with the Marines at Normandy on D-Day.
None among us are perfect and never causes pain to another...but for the men and women who left their homes and families to give the last measure of their devotion to their loved ones and country, we their posterity, give them tribute and our greatest, deepest, heartfelt thanks!!! It is with tears of appreciation that I write this for were it not for the actions of those we honor today we would not have the freedom we enjoy. Now it is our turn to fight for Liberty! Will we meet the test of those we honor? The Eagle
