Thank You Harold for the great years of Service You gave for past and current generations. Your dedication and duty in the US ARMY, unfortunately I was never given the opportunity to Thank You personaly. I thank You today as You shine above. Your Daughter in Law
I honor my Grandfather who served in the army in World War II, I am so proud of him and proud to be an American because of him. He was a man of few words, and was a hardened man, but it's even harder to imagine what it would have been like to walk in his shoes. He was a true New Englander, a hard worker and so resourceful and self-sustaining. He would and could provide for his humble family. What an amazing man! He carried on his shoulders, more weight, than most men can bear today. I'm proud to be his grand-daughter.
Though I never got the chance to know you, I felt I did through all the stories my mother told me about you. My son's middle name is Briggs as an honor to carry on the family name. I pray God keeps you with him and you're looking in on us from time to time.
Entered Active Duty 19 Mar 1943, Honorable Discharge 30 Mar 1945 Battles and Campaigns, Naples Eoggia Rome Arno, North Apennines PO Valley.
I am voting in honor of my father, H.E. Boles. He enrolled in the Army Air Corps when he was l9 years old. He did not return for five years. He repaired bombers and fighter planes which were used in the South Pacific. He enlisted even though he knew a war was coming. I am very proud of my father.
I remember how worried my children (9 and 10 at the time) and I were when John, a Marine, was sent to Kuwait. We prayed and sent letters and just waited until the day we went to the Bangor International Airport to see him. It was just a stopover for him on his way back to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina but, luckily, he was allowed off the plane to see family. Having held all their emotions inside until then, both my daughter and son broke down in tears of relief when they at last saw their Uncle John back safe in the United States.
My husband served in the army for 23 years. I would like to recognize him for all the sarifices made for our country.
