I'd like to ride down home to SA. Tex. an visit the Fort Sam Houston Memorial Cemetary where these family members rest, My Brother John [173rd Airborne Viet Nam] Uncle Donald [US Navy] WWII, Grandpa [Army WWII] brother in law Mike Sneed [Army, Nam], brother in law Patrick Riley [Navy] And My father is still alive and was in the Marine Corps WWII Pacific Islands, brother Carl Army [Germany].. Dads brothers were in the Marines and Navy...so Memorial day is a Proud day indeed for our family... I cry when I watch Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan every single time, because I think of all these men in our family that serves this Nation..I have Native American blood and sometimes there are Pow Wow's [festivals] and if you have never been to one an your a Veteran you should find one an go because their that make sure to Honor you in the Sacred Circle and drum a song special for Veterans, in the most honorable way I have ever seen..Guymai, Cherokee...Guymai is Native people from Pamana, so I guess you can say I'm a rain forest Indian too..that rides a Goldwing ha ha...Have a great Memorial Day guy's...
 
German and Irish on dads side. Grandpa was Irish, grandma was German.
English and Cherokee on moms side. Great grandpa Adams was English and married a native of the Cherokee Nation, which later became Oklahoma Territory.

Both sides were Oklahoma dust bowl refugees (can you say "cotton pickers") who sold all they had, loaded up the truck and landed in the San Joaquin Valley, California.

You young'ns probably won't know what I'm talking about, but if any of you graybeards can imagine a cross between the movie "The Grapes of Wrath" and the old tv show "The Real McCoys", you might end up with a pretty close idea of just about all I know.
