I remember Jesse Penna today


Jesse was a Navy Corpsman serving with the Marine Corps in Viet Nam. He lost his life serving his country and his fellow man. It was 1968 and Jesse and I would sit in the barracks and sing along with Janis Joplin "Piece Of My Heart" We were a mess. I remember him today and many other days. I thank God that I am home today free and healthy and with my family. I remember all who served and didn't make it home. God bless America.

I am hopeful that your buddy is up there or wherever looking out for you and watching over you. Rhyno's words are soo true. My dad is 91 and was at Pearl Harbor for the clean up after 12/7/41  -  he still talks about it and the guys he was with. He doesn't remember what he had for breakfast - be has never forgotten those friends. Rec - live your life well for your buddy .....peace   
…….hey, thank YOU REC for your service as well as for your fallen friend. I also posted 2 years ago on this thread for you and your friend since then,  my Dad who was a WW II Vet has passed. Stay well   
Hey Rec  - I was getting worried about you as I told my wife earlier today that I did not see your post today. Thank you and especially Jesse once again on this day for your services. Stay well …..
