"Its 2011 now. but I think about "wagler" as I knew him, all the time. I remember him telling me "you wont drive my tank" as we where unloading them in Kuwait. I laughed and agreed, I told him ill Get him for any of his companies tanks. He also taught me what "Pennsylvania dutch" was. You will never be forgotten, and your sacrifice will be honored for the rest of my life."

"Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay that day,
to laugh, to love, to work or play.
Task undone must stay that way.
I found peace at the close of the day.
If my parting left a void,
then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Ah, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with time of sorrow,
I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one touched.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,
But don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me.
God wanted me now, He set me free!"
William Darby Taylor Jr. of Bonita Springs Florida

He gave his life for his country and that is the ultimate sacrifice. He will always be remembered by this country as the reason why we have what we have - freedom and opportunity. He has a brave, honorable soul and will never be forgotten. He is smiling down on us right now with love."
