Remember the fallen and those who suffered the remainder of their lives in the defense of this country and to keep us free. I am mindful today especially of my fifth great grand uncles, Edward and Zachariah Butt, who served in the Maryland second regiment. Zachariah fell with Baron DeKalb in the rear guard at Camden, SC. Edward died fighting in the battle of Guilford Courthouse. I also remember my grandfather, Roy Jay Boyce, who suffered all the days of his life from having been gassed in France in World War I. God bless all men and women who serve and have our country in its armed forces!
