THE VIRTUAL NAVY WALL

Sponsored by the United States Navy Veterans Association "They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn; At the setting of the sun on America's oceans, And in the morning rush of America's new dawn, We Will Remember Them." Our Virtual Navy Wall lists our Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard  veterans (when the USCG was, or is, attached to the Navy, as it was during the World War I and World War II periods ), America's bravest sons and daughters, who served the Nation, and who are no longer with us, but still are.
May God Hold Them All in the Palm of His Hand. "Day is done, Gone the sun From the lake, From the hill, From the sky; all is well, safely rest; God is nigh." " A VETERAN'S COURAGE" by United States Navy Veterans Association Poet Laureate John Witherspoon If courage made the measure as to who was big or small, then the Veterans we honor are the tallest of them all. On The day that gave no quarter, cramped and deadly, on ship, air or land, Hand-to-hand, America's Bravest Sons and Daughters cast a shadow, tall and grand. For In their Patriots' line of duty was the knowledge bittersweet, that the enemies of Freedom were constant companions, on a never ending beat. O weep, You Patriots, for the Ones you cannot see, Then cease your weeping and rejoice For They are still here with us like a Tall Oak Tree. And where They fell on foreign soil or sea Their Sacred Blood has sanctified that space. And Liberty stands there with America's Flag, and She has a Veteran's face. ************ The Virtual Navy Wall does not purport to be an exhaustive list of every deceased USN , USMC, and USCG member. Even if it were, this Site was dedicated in 2002, and it would be hundreds of years from then before every deceased USN,USMC and World War USCG  member could be researched and listed. Instead, honorees are honored on the Wall by specific request made to the United States Navy Veterans Association. You can send your request to: United States Navy Veterans Association Attn: Virtual Navy Wall 7028 W. Waters Ave. #325 Tampa FL 33634 or, you can provide your honoree's information to us at VirtualNavyWall@NavyVets.org or, you can add your honoree's information as an entry in the Navy Honorees Guestbook at the bottom of this Page. When we have added your honoree's information on the Wall, we will delete your entry. Whatever method of contacting us you choose, please follow one of the formats already used on the Wall for listings. *************** "Are Soldiers Martyrs?" "...If I am asked what I think concerning the eternal salvation of a brave man who lays down his life in defense of his country's honor and in vindication of violated justice, I do not hesitate to reply that one cannot doubt in the least that God will crown his military valor. Death, accepted in this spirit, will assure the salvation of that man's soul." - Joseph Cardinal Mercier, who led the Belgian resistance to the German occupation of his country during the First World War         ********** On the PBS-TV Lehrer Report, Memorial Day, 2003, Roger Rosenblatt, a major media editor, spoke somewhat disparangly of the Remembrance of our Veteran Dead as a 'memorialization in order to try to keep their lives going.'  Remembrance of our Veteran Dead is an advocacy for the American mind, for the American spirit, and for American action every day in things we can do as simple as thanking that boy down the street for the three years he spent in the Marine Corps, or tying a yellow ribbon around a tree, or keeping your vehicle's lights on in daylight on Memorial Day and on Veterans' Day, in honor of our Service Men and Women. Remembrance of our Veteran Dead is American Patriotism incarnate; it is not just thought; it is a call to action just as much as reminding someone to designate a sober driver is. Roger is wrong. Our honored dead live among us still, certainly, and they always will. But they also point us forward with the example of both their lives and deaths, to America's future to help humanity, to support Freedom as the natural right of all men and women everywhere, and under any circumstances, and never to deny the cause of the United States in the world. So, Roger you are wrong. As is anyone who says that Remembrance of America's Veteran Dead is to be minimized. Our Remembrance of them is that, a Remembrance, but it is also a reveille for America, the American dream, and the American future they died for. Honor lies in service, not in greed, and no higher honor lies than with those who have died for the cause of the United States, the cause of the Freedom of Man. Over 1.2 million American souls who died in combat since the time of the Revolution say so. And so do we.     ****************************       The Virtual Navy Wall is designed as a place for reflection and of special love, not a place of anger, but also as a place of  tribute to the patriotism of the Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps Veterans  listed on it.     ***********				VirtualNavyWall@NavyVets.org        SERVICE DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR ERA (1774-1800):   Rear Admiral John Paul Jones, USN, 1747-1792, Hero of the Revolution, Father of the American Navy; Born at Kirkbean, Scotland, Buried at the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland       SERVICE DURING THE WAR OF  1812 PERIOD (1800-1840):         SERVICE DURING THE MEXICAN -AMERICAN WAR ERA (1841-1860):               OUR CIVIL WAR (1861-1865) KILLED IN ACTION:           SERVICE DURING THE CIVIL WAR AND AFTERMATH PERIOD (1861-1900):                          SERVICE DURING THE WORLD WAR I ERA (1900-1938):   Albert S.
