Memorial Day Thread. Recognize those who served and are now gone


Early Observances of Memorial Day

The Civil War, which ended in the spring of 1865, claimed more lives than any conflict in U.S. history and required the establishment of the country’s first national cemeteries.

By the late 1860s, Americans in various towns and cities had begun holding springtime tributes to these countless fallen soldiers, decorating their graves with flowers and reciting prayers.

It is unclear where exactly this tradition originated; numerous different communities may have independently initiated the memorial gatherings. And some records show that one of the earliest Memorial Day commemoration was organized by a group of freed slaves in Charleston, South Carolina less than a month after the Confederacy surrendered in 1865. Nevertheless, in 1966 the federal government declared Waterloo, New York, the official birthplace of Memorial Day.

RIP Andy Alaniz and Marty Davis, served with both in the first Gulf War.

Andy



One of the most iconic pictures from Desert Storm, Andy is in the body bag.



Marty is on the left, he was from Salina KS, we went from MEPS all the way through BASIC and a few other schools together all the way to Ft Stewart GA. On the right is Corey Winkle who I didn't know. They were killed the same day.



RIP.

To my Father, who was an Army Aircorp/Air Force veteran of WWII (1939-1945) in the European theatre and passed at the age of 81 in 2002. He was my hero, and still is to this day. A short man in stature, but a giant of a human being and Father. Thanks for your service and for being an amazing role model. Love you and RIP, Dad

Your dad sounds EXACTLY like the beautiful and witty Mrs. FAX's uncle, Mr. ChiTown.

Army Aircorp, WWII, Euro Theatre ...

I loved that guy with all my heart.

Stood about 5.6/7 but was built like a damn brick shithouse. Hight and tight on the hair. Steel-blue eyes that would take the measure of your soul and a laugh that made you feel good about yourself. Started a hardware business on Sepulveda Blvd. in the Valley, then sold it and retired to a lake house on Center Hill Lake (about an hour or so from Nashville). Raised 4 great kids and 8 grandchildren. All of them turned out pretty good, too.

Ken Emigh was the man's name. A great friend. A great man. Held his hand when he passed. But, the kicker is this;

He made the best martinis I have ever had in my life. Tasted like nothing other than a cold cloud on a Utah mountain day.

I think I'll use his recipe tonight. It won't be as good, though.

If you want, share some stuff about your brother. I like hearing the personal stories of service, the deeds and brotherhood that always happens.
