31 Jan 2003 I never knew my father, but he was someone special, he fought for my freedom and everyone elses'. He believed in what he had to do, and because of that I am a better person also. Your son, Ken Folkers boogey91@fidnet.com

 

22 Jul 2004 My grandfather gave his life for all our freedom along with all the other men and women who never made it home. I just want to say "Thank you for our freedom". From your loving grandson, Tristan Voughn Folkers boogey91@yahoo.com
