I wish to honor my husband, Alvin Clark Wagner, who at 18 went to Okanawa on the USS Lauderdale APA 179 a troop transporter.

My Grandfather is missed by our whole family as every day he visited all of his children besides his daily chores and work performances. This will always be respected and we are all so blessed as he left us all with a gift of love. God Bless All. Amen...

Thank you Dad! We miss you!

Not Forgotten

From the Hoorahs to the Semper-Fi?s,From the fliers in the sky to the grunts on the ground,From those who retired, to those who still fight,From those who we shed tears for to those still standing,From the Civil War to the present fight,

You are the men and women we count on,You are the soldiers who fight for those who can?t,You are the ones who return to families and loved ones,You are the ones who risk everything for our freedom.

We miss you every day and we thank all of you for our FREEDOM! God Bless You and our heart's be with you always we love you Grampie.
