Veterans Day Tribute


RogueOne

Recommended Posts

USAA asked that members share someone that they are inspired by on Veterans Day.  My tribute is to a fallen hero Christopher Splinter.  I knew Chris as a leader and upper classmate on the Hillmen Varsity Football team.  I was also a ROTC participant graduating UWP before Chris.  Chris was a Combat Engineer.  He was a leader and a good man.  He left behind a beautiful family in providing the ultimate sacrifice for his country.  

I just wanted you all to know about Chris.  He is not forgotten.

I want to recognize my uncle, Gerald ((Larry) Sullivan.   Served in the Marines from August 1941 to October of 1945 in the South Pacific (that’s right ...... for the entire war!!!).  Semper Fi uncle Larry.  You definitely defined “The few, the Proud, the Marines.
