Reed's Cap

This is my brother's cap. He was wounded twice, once on Pelilieu and once on Okinawa and received two Purple Hearts at a time when they were not so easily presented. He was not yet old enough to vote at the time.
Later he became a teacher, coach, high school principal, sheriff's office administrator and community leader. He has lived his entire life for others and helping others to achieve their goals.
There is a picture of him taken at an awards ceremony in February, 2006 at http://www.pbase.com/image/55317132.

These are the stories that need to be re-told, so that everyone realizes that sacrifice and servitude make us a free country. Thanks, Coleen. BTW, I couldn't open the pic of him, password protection. :)

What a man. And those areas in WWII were some of the worst, the very worst.

My hat is off to Reed and his many years of helping others.

Can we see a picture of him? This, by the way, has to have a vote from me!

Hug my brother's neck and thank him for me, please. Like Robin, I would love to hear more.

Semper Fidelis

Coleen, I read E.B.Sledge's book "With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa" and got a graphic picture of their struggle. Thank him for his service and for keeping a five year old, at the time, safe.
