Garnet Jenkins, Just passing by. Grand Junction, Colorado.. "GREATER LOVE, HATH NO MAN THAN THIS. THAT HE LAID, DOWN HIS LIFE, FOR HIS FRIENDS" - John 15:13.... Remembering this young hero, on the anniversary of the day, he gave his life for our country with a multitude of thanks for his courage, service and dedication. Rest well and know, that you will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. From the sister of yet another Fallen, a Young Hero, who made the Ultimate Sacrifice in Vietnam.... They shall not grow old, as we that are left, grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor do the years condemn them. At the going down, of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
