On this Memorial Day I'd like to remember:
My great uncle Casey Atkinson, veteran of World War I
My uncle Earl Barber, Veteran of World War II
I'd like to honor my wife's uncle Roger Spooner who survived the sinking of the USS Yorktown at the Battle of Midway and who in his mid-eighties still drives a truck for a living.
I also want to honor my cousin Benny Atkinson, veteran of the Vietnam Conflict.
I am sure there are others in our family that I have overlooked, but to all who have served with honor, we salute you.
