I should have noted that I knew Earl and the McCullough family. I was best man at his son's wedding back in '68.
I will be attending the memorial service and will be wearing blazer with medals. Every veteran should be honoured.

 I'm sorry to hear that, and I'm glad to know you're attending the Memorial and probably have many good memories to hold. Love Karmen
