Grandpa....
I remember the day you passed because I couldn't understand why a police car was driving into our yard. Two officers got out and helped my Grandma out of the car. I remember there was wash hanging on the clothesline, and my Mom was standing in the doorway holding my sister.
I am proud to be your granddaughter and to be able to say you served as a veteran of the military and the police force.
Hugs!

Great Grampa,
I never had a chance to know you, but I am proud of you and your military and police service. . I am happy you are being honored and remembered after all these years, and how I wish I could have known you. Thank you for your service.

Patrolman Ethen,
Sir, it has taken over 62 years but you are finally being honored. I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served in the U.S. Army during WW I. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
R.I.P.
