Maybe Change Will Come, Maybe

When there is so much tragedy there comes a time when you become numb to it all. It’s just another event that unfortunately has changed the lives of people on both sides. One would think you would like to change the tone, change what is happening, change the future by changing the present. We allow things to happen because the changing part makes some uncomfortable and they don’t want to sacrifice anything. Yeah we all want life, liberty and happiness but what are we willing to give to get it. I hope one day people will stop killing other people for sport or because someone brainwashed them into doing it. Maybe change will come, maybe.

On July 16, 2015 in Chattanooga, TN we lost five servicemen who were just living their lives and doing their jobs. A young man who himself is a victim of sorts attacked a recruiting office and then a naval reserve center where he ended the lives of these five men. Today we remember them for their sacrifice and service. Thank you:

  • Lance Cpl. Squire “Skip” Wells
  • Sgt. Carson Holmquist
  • Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Sullivan
  • Staff Sgt. David Wyatt
  • Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Randall Smith (who died a couple days later)

 

 

One Year Ago, Honoring Chattanooga’s Fallen Five

One year ago in my hometown of Chattanooga, TN, four marines and one sailor were gunned down at the hands of a person who attacked two military stations here. This is one of the most historic days in our history, one that will never be forgotten. We are in debt to the life and service of those men who lost their lives. Semper Fi, Anchors Away.

Memories Of Me At 10

Me (on the right) at 10 years old with a man named Arnold. We were participating in a reading program back in the day. I liked Arnold very much. Great memories.
