Sunday, part 2

"Hill 881 South - April 30, 1967"

"Night Watch" - "C" Co., 20th Inf. BN, USMC
 
Before worshipping at St. Mark's Episcopal Church Charles took a few minutes to visit the Veteran's Memorial across the street from the church.  Memorials were there for the Vietnam, Korean and WWII veterans.

Yesterday in Iraan, Burton Lanehart, a WWII vet who had served aboard the USS Ranger (CV-4) was buried.  Burton was a member of the First UMC in Iraan (where Charles had been pastor until mid-June).   With Charles' interactions with veterans from WWII through Iraq/Afghanistan, it was nice to be able to take a few minutes to remember this way.
