To Our Departed Veterans

These were the young men of our generation. This was the war of our generation. For as long as we live, we honor them for their courage and feel a deep abiding loyalty to each of these men. However the deepest of loyalty and love is reserved for our two brothers from our class who went to war and served faithfully making the ultimate sacrifice. For them, they represent the very best our class had to offer. These men are part of our history and a permant part of our lives. They all are our brothers.

Lawrence M Celani

They fought together as brothers in arms; they died together and now they sleep side by side. To them, we have a solemn obligation
