I suppose almost all of the Yarders have lost military members of their extended families.....and many have lost from their immediate families. As we speak, one of our family heroes from WWII, Capt. John Masteller, a waist gunner/radioman etc, who flew many missions into Germany in the Martin "Flying Coffins", is very near death in a nursing home. A handsome, brave, mild and very decent man, John now weighs 90 pounds and can no longer lift the phone. To him and his comrades and to you and your family's sacrifices for our nation, Barbara and I send our heartfelt appreciation, prayers, and remembrance. A tip o' the cap .....and stay well.

Remembering all the young men from my parish and neighborhood who did not come home from Viet Nam, as well as my great uncle who was gassed in WWI while in the ambulance corps. Their sacrifices are always remembered!
