    2. ADAMS & WEBB
    3. For my husband, Ed. P. Webb, III, USN, who served aboard the USS Diamond Head during Vietnam. For my father, Charles C. ADAMS, USN, who served aboard USS Casco during WWII. For my husband's uncle, Ed. P. WEBB, Jr., USN, who died aboard the USS Birmingham in the Leyte Gulf during WWII. For my 2nd great-grandfather, David Thomas PEARCE, who served with Co. E., 8th VA Infantry, CSA and was wounded at Balls Bluff. For my 2nd great-grandfather, George W. PYNE, who served with Company C, 19th Infantry VA, CSA, and became a POW. For my 5th great-grandfather, Thomas LLOYD, who served for three years in the Virginia Continental Army. Thank you, gentlemen, for your service and your sacrifice. We have not forgotten. A LINK FOR MEMORIAL DAY . . . Please check out The American Battle Monuments Commission at http://www.abmc.gov/ This agency is responsible for commemorating the services of our Armed Forces since WW I. It was there that I found out that my husband's uncle who died in the Leyte Gulf has his name inscribed on a memorial wall in Manila. The commission sent us a picture of the memorial with a close up shot of his name on the wall. There's a lot of info there for anyone who is researching ancestors who served since WW I and the staff is extremely helpful. Sandy Adams
