Far too many of America's Best are gaining their final rest. Our children need to meet, see, and talk with these men and women only to learn what it means to do one's duty, defend honor and protect liberty.
Eternal rest grant unto him.... |

My hat's off to all those who flew in bombers in the European theater during WWII. A harrowing, dangerous, and nerve racking job.
My condolences to your friend's family. |

My wish is that if you know anybody with a similar military history, that you get them to write down, in their own words their experiences during the war. Or better yet, get them on videotape telling their stories. Future historians and everyday americans will one day want to know everyone's story.
Rest in Peace. |

May this hero rest in peace.
For those in the Atlanta area who would like to see what this man flew in, there is a B-17 on display at the airport in Lawrenceville and it will be at Peachtree Dekalb Airport in Chamblee on Monday. $5 to see it and they will even take you up in it for a hefty $359. If I had not gotten laid off, I would take that ride in a heartbeat. Can you imagine the pictures you could take from the inside looking out while in the air? |

Quoted: Far too many of America's Best are gaining their final rest. Our children need to meet, see, and talk with these men and women only to learn what it means to do one's duty, defend honor and protect liberty. Eternal rest grant unto him.... Exactly! After 9/11 the media was falling all over themselves trying to compare our generation to "The Greatest Generation". Yeah right... We've got a hell of a long way to go and most likely will never get there. [USA] |

One more of the thousands upon thousands who quietly, without fanfare, put it on the line...for real...again and again, for all of us, then came home and built a family and a country.
Will we ever see their like again? Rest well Floyd...you earned it. |

Thanks so much guys for your kind and respectful words.
I just got back from spending time with Ms. Melba [Mr. Floyd's wife] and we had a very good talk about their relationship [60+ yrs], how humourous and cantankerous Mr. Floyd was and about life in general. This couple, although twice my own age, were my friends and neighbors until my ex and I split. I cut their grass, helped them with their yard, helped them when they were sick, helped with their house [big house] and just enjoyed learning from them and about them. For me, it was all very emotional as not only did I lose a friend but I also had to enter the same neighborhood that I loved living in and look at my old house and yard which mean a lot to me. Almost expected Mr. Floyd to walk around the corner with that ever present glass of ice water then to look up and see my wife walking down through our yard on the way over. What fragile things are life and love. I submitt we try not to take anything for granted. [USA], for you Mr. Floyd my friend, RIP |

He was (and IS) a hero, but he has not fallen as long as he is honored and remembered. X--Kill, you've done him great service by being his friend, and by allowing us to pay our respects. Mr Hamilton, I thank you for your service, and may you be granted eternal peace.
