Death notices of our brothers and their family members.
 
 
Dear Friends:                 May 13, 2007
 
I hope you are having a good Mother's Day and have done something special today for the ladies in your life.
 
It is with a very heavy heart that I send this e-mail out.  Roy (Doc) Hatchard received a call from Debbie, that Ed Kennedy died Thursday night.  Ed & I talked for a long time about 5-6 weeks ago, and he said he had a minor problem but nothing serious.  I am not sure of the details but I believe he died of stomach cancer.  Please remember Debbie, and Ed's family in your prayers during this most difficult time.  Eddie was a great friend to me and to the 2nd platoon.
 
Also, please continue to pray for Tom Neer, who is fighting a valient battle against the enemy (cancer).  Roy also told me that Tom's 38 year old daughter also has the same type of cancer as her father.
 
Just as we did not understand the things that happened in VN, we continue to question why these sad events happy to our dear brothers.  I am not smart enough to understand, but I do know who is still in charge --- God.  Even if He explained it to us, I doubt that we would be able to comprehend it.
 
Remember:  In God We Trust.  He is our real CO.
 
God Bless all of you and OLD GUARD!
 
Ed

 
 

God shall receive them unto his care.
