Now 89 years old, Alzheimer?s has taken some memories away and just this past June he lost his wife of nearly 70 years. I will honor him by learning more about his time in service to our country and the sacrifices he and his fellow serviceman made for our freedom. I will also honor him by thanking him and those serving today. We ALL need to "Remember" why we enjoy the freedoms we have in this Great Country, The United States of America!!
I am voting in honor of Dorrance Marstaller who proudly served his country in the U.S. Army from 1967-1970 and was in Vietnam from May 1968 to May 1969. Thank you for your service!
You gave so much....God Bless you Derik.
Debra joined the Army Reserve in North Carolina to serve her country and further her education. With only one semester left in college she was called to serve in Iraq in 2003 for 12 months. As the selfless, caring person she is Debra has put her civilian plans on hold and remains in the Army Reserves currently stationed in Germany. I think of her daily and hope she comes home safe and sound. We are so proud of Debra and miss her very much. Love from Mom and Seth
Your Dad and I are so VERY PROUD of your service to this GREAT Country. For the 2 1/2 years you sacrificed away from your precious boys at such a young age so that we could live a life of freedoms. For being such a Great example to many young men and women that you serve with. May God bless you as you serve your country each day with pride and devotion.
He was a great man!
My son Chris is not only defending the right to vote for the people of the United States, he is also working for democracy in Iraq. I am proud of him and all of the men and women who have sacrificed so much to improve a country thousands of miles away. My son has learned a lot from the Iraqi people and has matured beyond his 21 years. His family prays for his safe return as well as the safe return of all of his fellow soldiers in the 133rd Maine National Guard. We are proud of all of you.
Thank you for your support to the nation in 3 conflicts. I remember you mostly when I was a teenager working at Merrill's store, working at the race track, and knew of you as a younger kid. I went to school with Janice and graduated the same year, 1981. I myself decided to make the military a career. I did 22 years. I retired two years ago. I remember the days at the Waterboro Scrambles when you worked with my Uncle Woody Owen and when you were also in law enforcement. I am now living in Long Beach, California and I am a high school teacher.
Vietnam POW.
My father served with "Bull Halsey" during the great Pacific battles as his navigation and recon officer. He had many tales to tell. He also was the commandant of USNR 1-1 Unit in Portland and from there swore his own son into the Navy in 1957. He retired as a Captain after 30 years service. We're so proud of his contributions to the war and this State.
