"Greater Love hath no man than this, That he lay down his life for his friends.''

Everytime I visit the The Wall,...I
wonder...like many, why,.....why was I left to come Home????? and I look at
all the brave men's names from one end to the other....yes it is a
Healing Wall.....How lucky we are to be home.....My prayers are with
My Brothers each night.....and their families..........


In Memoriam
KENNETH ALLEN PEDERSON

Ken, each year we go to the wall on Veterans day... this year 2003 ...I met your mom....what a great lady...... She told us her son was on the wall....there wasn't a dry eye in the group.....we gave her a hug...and she explained she was trying to get your medals with no luck...we hooked her up with someone who is helping her.....
your mom adopted us...and we adopted her....she has many friends (fellow marines) at the wall......
we now e-mail each other...and will meet next year at the wall...
she is so proud of you....and so are we....your missed and loved.....
we are always here for your mom...we will watch over her.....
we explained....the heros....are on the wall.....and how the brotherhood of the marine corp is...shes our adopted MOM......

your fellow Marines and brothers........

SEMPER FI................

They didn't run.......................
they didn't protest..................
they died proud......................
for the country they loved.....
