The following pages are a tribute to a very fine young man who was fatally wounded while repeatedly returning to the line of fire in order to carry wounded to safety. "Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for a friend"
I must warn you to visit these pages at your own risk. Your heart will break when you see the smile on his face and the twinkle in his eye. I know he wanted to live. The Distinguished Service Cross is the second highest medal awarded in the USA.
Like the freedom purchased at calvary, personal freedom is also a gift that must be accepted before it can be lived.
Gerald's Song is just the lyrics - I need someone to write the music. ( I sort of hum it to something like "The Streets of Laredo" - a song from the old West of America)
Thank you for visiting my site.
