Why? Because it speaks volumes about how I personally feel about Memorial Day as a <strong>US Navy veteran<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many years, I was one of \u201cthose\u201d who appreciated the long, 3-day weekend, the cookouts, and the extra time spent at the beach or the lake with family and friends. Of course, I\u2019ve always recognized the true meaning of the day. But as I get older, aka \u201cseasoned,\u201d I now more appreciate what our veterans\u2014those with us as well as those we\u2019ve lost\u2014did for me\u2026 for us\u2026 for our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn\u2019t know him personally, but he was my father\u2019s best friend during World War II. They shared many hard and challenging times together in the front-line infantry in Europe, fighting the Germans and the weather. But they also found time for a few laughs along their journey. Such is the way with combat veterans. My father never talked about <em>Kad<\/em>, but he wrote about him in his diary. After many years of searching, I found Kad\u2019s family and let them know Kad was one of my dad\u2019s heroes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn\u2019t know them personally, but they were from my hometown. They all attended Gainesville High School, graduating a few years before me. Like so many others, they fought for what they believed in. Several times a year, our local Vietnam Veterans of America chapter gathers at their graveside to honor these fallen friends: <em>Chuck, Lindy, Tommy, Marcus, Tom, Bob, Ron, Bobby, Freddy, and Jerry<\/em>. I just published a book about the 48 men from Alachua County who died in service while in Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn\u2019t know him personally, but I was there when he died on the flight deck of <em>USS Kitty Hawk<\/em> during Westpac \u201975. It\u2019s not something one forgets. During an aircraft crash, you must remain focused and do your job to help keep everyone else safe, dealing with the situation as best you can. I know many of my veteran friends know <em>exactly<\/em> what I\u2019m talking about. You react based on your instincts and your training. <em>Andrew<\/em> was just doing his job, the same as the rest of us. But he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was a fellow shipmate who left behind a wife and a young child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn\u2019t know him personally, but I knew of him. He was my son\u2019s age. I know his parents\u2014we attend the same church and are in the same Sunday school class. When I ride or walk by his memorial on the church grounds, I always pause for a moment to say a quick prayer. <em>Chris<\/em> was an Army infantryman who was killed in action in Baghdad. <em>Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends<\/em>. [John 15:3].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can\u2019t help but think of my father, <strong>A.Z. Adkins, Jr.<\/strong>, who served with the <strong>80th Infantry Division<\/strong> during WWII, fighting in Europe. He made it back, but so many of his buddies didn\u2019t. I think of <strong>Dr. Rufus K. Broadaway, <\/strong>who served with the <strong>82nd Airborne<\/strong> and dropped in behind enemy lines the early morning of June 6, 1944, landing in an apple tree. He made it back, too. I married his daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I was younger, I knew Memorial Day was important to my father, and I\u2019m sure to Becky\u2019s dad, too. As a kid, while our parents wanted us to know about the war, they didn\u2019t want us to worry. I\u2019m sure they each spent a little quiet time on Memorial Day thinking about those men they served with who didn\u2019t make it back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My mom once told me that before she met my father (they met after the war), she had written letters to a lot of soldiers who were friends from high school and college. Many didn\u2019t come back. I\u2019m sure she also spent a little quiet time on Memorial Day with her thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There will be many types of ceremonies this Memorial Day, but we will remember\u2014we will <em>always<\/em> remember. Veterans and families will still be out there, paying tribute to their fallen brothers, family members, and even strangers who gave their all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know I always take time on this day, as I\u2019ve done for the past 50+ years, to remember the sacrifices our soldiers and sailors made in order for us to preserve our freedoms. I hope that you\u2019ll find a little quiet time this Memorial Day to remember and\u2026 <em>Never Forget<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">All gave some, some gave all.<br>Fair Winds and Following Seas.<br>We Have the Watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until we meet again,<br>Andy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve posted this article on Memorial Day for the past few years, with only a few slight changes.
