WWII veterans Henry Edward Frazier, Robert "Bill" Patrick, Doyle Smith, Orzo R. Franklin, and Edsel Frazier, deliver Memorial Day salutes.  These grand patriots walk among us, honoring us with their presence!  They carry scars of battle. We live in "the land of the free and the home of the brave" because they put their lives on the line.  Today we salute them----and say "thanks gallant men," we remember!
