Remembering on Memorial Day

The first person I personally knew who died in service to our country was Billy Joe Renfrow. He was a Senior Class Favorite who noted for Congeniality.

I've know many men and a few women who served in the military, but Billy Joe was the only one I knew who went to school with me. He was the last person I ever expected to see in the Army.

After his death, every time my Mom would see his Mom in town, his mother would tell mine to say hello to me. That's how it is in a small town.

Today, I'm thinking of him and how young he was when he was killed in action. War is hell in so many ways.

TAKEAWAY TRUTH

Remember those who gave their lives in service.
