Not forgotten
Mark and I met and dated while he was stationed at Ft. Jackson in Columbia SC. I was 18 years old, he was 20. He talked about his family and being a helicopter pilot. He proudly showed me pictures of the copter he would be flying and talked about Vietnam. I was with him on the evening before he left Ft. Jackson for his assignment.(My Mom and Dad gave me an extra hour on curfew since he was leaving the next morning) He and I share the same birthdate, June 14th and I especially think about him on that day. I prayed for him and all those that went to Viet Nam and to this day continue to pray for those serving in our military around the world. Mark, like so many others gave their life and they are our TRUE heros. Mark Jackson, you will never be forgotten.

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings, Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds and done a hundred things. You have not dreamed of wheeled and soared and swung, high in the sunlit silence, hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious, burning blue I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace, where never lark, or even eagle flew, and, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of God.

You are not forgotten. My father, Capt. Michael L. Grady (deceased 1996) showed me your name on the wall when I was young and told me he served with you and recalled your story. I still touch your name every time I visit the wall. We are all grateful for your ultimate sacrifice.

In remembrance of your birthday. Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice for such an unthankful nation. I am sorry that you like many before and after are not celebrated as much as you should be, HEROES to everyone. Unknown to me, but never forgotten. Numbers 6:24-26 The LORD bless you and keep you the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you The LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace
