In August, of 1967, I was 11, years old and I clearly, remember my dad, your brother-in-law, Milton, crying over the sad news, of your loss. Although, I never had the opportunity, to know you, what I do, know, from reading the heartfelt remembrances, of others is that you, were an honorable, courageous and beloved man. Such a man is guaranteed, a safe, arrival and peaceful eternity, in Heaven. Uncle Earle, I cherish, the freedom, that your selfless bravery gave, to me. I thank you, for your service, to our great nation, on this Memorial, Day and always.

Remembering An American Hero
Dear Captain Earle Avon Drake, sir As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned. May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you. With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir Curt Carter
A great buddy
Earle--you were a wonderful friend and I still think of you often. Many great memories. Wish there could have been more.
THINKING OF YOU WITH LOVE

AS ALWAYS YOU ARE ARE IN MY HEART
If I should die...remembrances for CAPT. Earle Avon DRAKE, USA...who made the ultimate sacrifice!!!!
If I should die, and leave you here awhile, be not like others, sore undone, who keep long vigils by the silent dust, and weep...for MY sake, turn again to life, and smile...Nerving thy heart, and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine...Complete these dear, unfinished tasks of mine...and I, perchance, may therein comfort you.
We Remember

NATIVE AMERICAN PRAYER
It is said a man hasn't died as long as he is remembered. This prayer is a way for families, friends and fellow veterans to remember our fallen brothers and sisters. Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die
My Daddy
My dearest Daddy, Oh, how I wish we had the opportunity to live life together. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and wish for one more hug and kiss... I have a beautiful daughter named Lauren who joyfully (for the time being) flaunts her grandpa's ears! I love you and miss you Daddy, Dee Dee |
