This man was from a small town about 7 miles from the small town I am from. It is possible my parents knew him when they were young, no one will ever know. I went to his funeral this morning along with about 100 or 150 others. It was windy and cold, but it was something my best friend and I had to do. The Navy sent a burial detail and a firing squad. They did a very good job. https://www.thecounty-chronicl...04/15/charles-brown/ | ||

'Under the wide and starry sky, Dig the grave and let me lie. Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will This be the verse you grave for me: Here he lies where he longed to be; Home is the sailor, home from sea, And the hunter home from the hill.' Requiem, by Robert Louis Stevenson. | |||
