A Personal Note From Rick

5/11/2017

4 Comments

 
Relax... - this blog posting truly is a personal note - it has nothing to do with money or financial security - it's about a 50 year anniversary that will arrive in 2 days, on May 13, 2017... 

I've been anticipating and dreading this date as it moved closer, and I've been wondering what I would do when it arrived.  Well, the date is here and I've decided...

I'm going to let the world know about my brother and hero, Dan Michael Dennis:  

50 years ago, on May 13, 1967, my only sibling, my idol, my older brother and "kick-ass" United States Marine, was killed in action (KIA) in South Vietnam.  He was 21 yrs old.  I was only 11 yrs old, in 6th grade and living in southwest Houston.

For his efforts that day, he was posthumously awarded the Silver Star - I've uploaded a copy of it - after 50 years , it still hurts to read it...  here it is:​

Also, I'm running an "obit" in the Port Arthur News on May 13, 2017 - Dan graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in Port Arthur in 1964, so I thought his classmates that are still living in the Port Arthur area might see it and remember him.

Here's a link to a very simple website I maintain in his honor.  If you feel so inspired, please visit the website:

​
Finally - if you're a veteran, I thank you for your service.  If you're related to a veteran, please let that veteran know a random guy (that would be me) thanks them for their service. 

And, if you feel so inclined, please say a prayer for my brother and all our veterans who gave their lives for our country.

Thanks for letting me share this with you...  

Sincerely,

​Rick Dennis

I too want to thank you for sharing your memory about your brother Dan. As a veteran myself I say thank you to Dan for his service and sacrifice and believe me he will never be forgotten.Know that he will always love you and remember you as the great little brother you were to him.His only regret I am sure is that he never got to watch you grow up and to see the wonderful person you have become.
