My Gardners have served in every war since the Rev. war, but I would like to mention ALFRED WAYNE GARDNER, born Providence, KY. During WW2 he served in the Navy. During the battle of Leahi, his ship was hit. Hundreds of men were killed including Alfred Wayne. He was 19 years old. His body was never recovered. ----- Original Message ----- From: Darrell A. Martin Sent: Sunday, November 10, 2002 8:37 PM To: GARDNER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [GARDNER] From the list admin -- Veterans Day USA Greetings from your list admin: Tomorrow, Monday November 11, 2002 is Veterans Day in the Unites States of America. It used to be called Armistice Day to celebrate the end of the Great War, now known as World War One. Veterans Day is specifically for living military veterans, not a general day for honoring anybody and everybody. Please keep in mind that for many of us, a few pieces of colored ribbon -- and this day -- are all we get to call our own. I would like to invite all subscribers to contribute "something" to the list about a member of the family who served his or her country in the military. If you have family members who would go unmentioned otherwise, please feel free to bend the "on topic" rules and go ahead. And SEND THAT FAMILY MEMBER A COPY. Also feel free to mention those whose service was to a country other than the USA. Honor knows no political boundaries.
