Poistive Thoughts

Share this Memorial Day Sentiment with others

I found as a Marine leader that the greatest impact one has is when there is a viable connection with individuals.

Might I suggest that while celebrating Memorial Day to select one person who either gave the ultimate sacrifice or has since passed and honor him or her?

It personalizes and humanizes.

I have never met LTC William J. Games, USA, but he was a resident of Providence, Rhode Island, a Korean War veteran and recipient of the Silver Star. The Silver Star is awarded to a person who, while serving in any capacity with the U.S. military, is cited for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force. He served with 9th Infantry Regiment 2nd Infantry Division.

The former US Senator Claiborne Pell (D-RI) had submitted a bill on his behalf to obtain relief from overpayment of income taxes. He was honored by our General Assembly in 2004.

I will give honor to him as my personal connection to those who have come before us.

My grandmother's aunt, Marie Trimble, was an Army Nurse who died in the 1918 flu epidemic. She gets a flower this weekend. My old scoutmaster, Don Dewing, was a vet, WWII. He does too. My niece has a friend from high school to honor. He died in Iraq last year.
