Do you have a Picture of a Veteran or Service Member that you've Lost to Share?

My Father, John D Veal, Sr., WWII Veteran

COL Mikel J. Burroughs, I've made this comment on similar discussion threads before, but the person I always think of never changes.
On Memorial Day, I always remember First Lieutenant Thomas Gary Sikes of Jacksonville, FL. Lieutenant Gary Sikes was a 1962 graduate of Robert E. Lee High School, Jacksonville, FL and 1967 graduate of Mercer University, Macon, GA.
Lieutenant Sikes was the 2nd Platoon Leader, of C Company, 5th Battalion, 46th Infantry Regiment (The Professionals), 198th Infantry Brigade, Americal (23rd) Division, United States Army Vietnam.
When Lieutenant Sikes gave his all in the Quang Ngai province of South Vietnam, he was only 23 years old, and he left a wife and a one month old son that he never even saw.
He is buried in Bowman, GA, and his name appears on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, DC at coordinates 36W 053.
He was my friend.
Requiescat in pace.

Lieutenant commander Edward J. Kuzinski - My dad passed away on Sept. 8, 1978 and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him. I miss him so very much. My dad served on a Liberty Ship during WWII.

CW3 Tania Nichole Dunbar; after returning from Kuwait she passed away 19 July 2015 in North Carolina. My mentor and one of the most strongest women I've ever had the joy to ever know. Married with two children, most known as a Soldier who believed in the battle-buddy system like it's no joke, a family woman, someone who lead with no nonsense and hated crying from others. She is also more commonly known as one of the most prolific and strongest women who fought for the LGBT Military Community, never stopped her work and is loved by many whose lives were touched by her words of hope, affirmation, strength and resiliency. I wouldn't be here today without her. I wouldn't have started taking care of myself without her. I wouldn't be the leader and Soldier if not for her talks and her strength to push forward no matter what.

I miss you Chief, and I'm sorry for crying. One beer for you.

My son 2nd/75th Army Ranger SPC Devin J Kuhn KIT 31 Jan 2018 during a weapons training accident. He left behind a beautiful young bride,a loving family, and a grateful Nation.

1. My dad was WWII Infantry, Korean War Forward Observer, and Cold War Air Defense Missle Command. He retired from the Army in 1969 and passed away last year aged 92.
