Tributes to the Greatest Generation

This new section is where we will list the tributes to the men and women who have served our country.  We have been very pleased to see the writings of so many people in our guest book.  The stories told and the sentiment shown is no less than a tribute to our fathers' generation.  Please note that these stories -- unlike many published works -- are from the hearts of the writers who come from every walk of life and who share the common bond in the the chill it gives them knowing of the sacrifice, dedication and drive of the men who won World War II and then came home to lay the foundation for modern America.  Here are their words:

• Frank Densmore--the only Iwo Jim marine I know.  

• My grandfather was Horace L. Dreher

• From the daughter of Leon Mitchell

• From the Daughter-in-law of Arthur G. Anderson

• Photographer Joe Rosenthal
