I will share my closing statement as Memorial Day is a very personal one for me. I closed by stating "If it must be a family that carries this as their story, I am humbled to share that this is mine. "
May we never forget. Captain David P. Gibson KIA 4/8/1967
*It was a very windy day, and two of our grandchildren can be heard slightly during the speech. Thank you to my Bill for filming this.
UPDATE: When I gave this speech Dad had 34 descendants. He now has 41(5 more from my kids!) Time indeed, marches on.
