A Memorial for 2012 from Ken Howes, friend of Reformational and Lutheran thought. Here are some memorials to Ken's predecessors on Memorial Day Weekend 2012.
"My paternal great-great grandfathers: Arthur B. Fuller, chaplain, 19th Massachusetts, killed at Fredericksburg; James R. Howes, 10th Massachusetts, wounded at Fair Oaks; Arthur Cain, wounded at Spotsylvania Court House; and Rufus Dawes, commander, 6th Wisconsin. My great-uncle, Kenneth Eliot Fuller, killed in action in France, 1918. Members of our family have served since 1620, and fought in every war since 1704. Dr. Samuel Howes treated the wounded after the Deerfield Massacre; other family members participated in the taking of Louisbourg; William Dawes rode on the Midnight Ride; Timothy Fuller was a chaplain for a Massachusetts regiment in the Revolution; my father, Timothy Howes, served in the Navy in the South Atlantic in WW2; I served in the Army, 1971-80; my brother Larry served in the Air Force 1973-77."
Semper Fi to all who have served, stood and died for Constitutional life, protections and freedoms heretofore, in history, unknown.
