BY Anonymous on May 08, 2008 | |  | TAPS ......TAPS the most beautiful bugle call, known as the most eloquent of all.---Not only to signal the day is done, but to say goodbye, to a comrade, brother, or son.---A melody so hauntingly profound, a piercing yet peaceful sound.---Sounded over every Soldiers grave, to honor those who were so brave.---Soldiers raise their hands to their caps, Saluting the Fallen as the Bugler plays TAPS.---Rifles are fired in the sky, to say Farewell to another American G. I.---Listening to the bugle play, reminds us of the price they had to pay.---The sound is bittersweet, letting go of a hero, to someday meet again.---Nothing is so touching perhaps, or can render emotion like the call of TAPS.---You can hear the bugle weep, where men of valor sleep.---Tears from a bugle fall, as TAPS is played, for the heroes who gave their all.---Bill Meyer U.S. Army Sgt. Retired, Louisville, Ky.

BY Anonymous on May 08, 2008 | | | | I understand why you joined the Army. You said you wanted to make a difference.---I understand why you went to boot camp. You said it would make you stronger.---I uderstand why you answered the call, you said because it was your job.---I understand why you went to foreign soil, you said it was to fight for your Country.---But what I don't understand is why you had to die ? You came to me one night in my dreams and said " Because I died for your Freedom."---Thank you Mr. McDowell for protecting me.---Chloe Clay, Age 10, Louisville, Ky.

BY Anonymous on May 08, 2008 | | | | Eagles.... To bring down evil, some must fall. To fight for right, some answer the call.---To help the oppressed, some give up their time, their homes, their loves, they're eagles not doves.---To keep peace for those in need, some go to wars of just we read---To keep us safe, it Soldiers we call. They will all give some and some will give all.----Thank You Sgt. 1st Class McDowell for keeping America safe.----Cordie Griffin, Louisville, Ky.

BY Anonymous on May 08, 2008 | | | | Dear Sgt. 1st Class McDowell..... I am grateful you chose to go when others said the cause was wrong.You did not turn your back in order to help in some way bring about peace. I am grateful to you because tonight I can sit down and eat a warm meal. I am grateful to you because I can say I do not like war. This is without worrying that my door will be kicked in and I will be dragged away.---Mostly I am grateful to you because of your sacrifices, I am reminded once again of what I have. For this I am grateful to you, because I can go out and say absolutely the dumbest things, and do so because being dumb is not a crime.---I am grateful to you because I get to sit down to my warm meal with family and friends in peace. I am also grateful to you because if I think a certain politician is a fool...I can think it without being lined up against a brick wall and shot.---There are many things Dear Mr. McDowell that I am grateful to you, because of the fact you did not say no.---Peace to you and yours and most of all I salute you, because well I am grateful to you Mr. McDowell.---Michelle Elder, Louisville, Ky.

BY Anonymous on May 08, 2008 | | | | Don't think of David as gone away, his journey has just begun. Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one.~~Just think of him as resting from sorrow and tears, in a place of warmth and comfort, where there are no days or years.~~Think of how he must be wishing that you could know today, how nothing but sadness can really pass away.~~And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched and he is loved so much.~~Martin Bryant, Louisville, Ky.

BY Anonymous on May 08, 2008 | | | | Tattered around the edges, and faded now with time; memories that linger still, are what they left behind. Like a precious package, kept in a secret room; each moment a treasure, a heirloom.~~On rare and quiet occasions, the package opens wide, revealing then the memories that nestle inside, faces etched in memories like a photo from the past; each snapshot printed in the heart, and memories that last.~~Worn and ragged photographs, so faded now with time; yet the lasting love deep in your heart is what they left behind.~~Ken Meyer, Louisville, Ky.

BY Anonymous on May 08, 2008 | | | | My Shoes....I am wearing a pair of shoes. They are ugly shoes. Uncomfortable shoes. I hate my shoes. Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair. Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step. Yet, I continue to wear them. I get funny looks wearing these shoes. They are looks of sympathy. I can tell in other's eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs. They never talk about my shoes. To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable. To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them. But, once you put them on, you can never take them off. I now realize I am not the only one who wears these shoes. There are many pairs in this world. Some people are like me and ache daily as they walk in them. Some have learned how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as much. Some have worn the shoes so long that day's will go by before they think about how much they hurt. No parent deserves to walk in these shoes. Yet, because of these shoes I am a stronger person. these shoes have given me the strength to face anything. They have made me who I am. I will forever walk in the shoes of a parent who has lost their beloved child.~~Raven Meyer-Coan, Louisville, Ky.~~The love and memories will last forever.~~I am so sorry that you lost your cherished and much loved David.~~

BY Anonymous on May 08, 2008 | | | | People try to help me and everyone's so kind. But no matter what they say to me, I always seem to find, I start to get upset again. They can see it in my face, I wonder how they'd handle it if they were in my place. They look at me with sympathy. In a loving caring way, I thank them and attempt a smile as I walk away. The tears start welling up again, every time it's the same, I simply fall to pieces at the mention of your name.~~I can only imagine the pain the McDowell Family is going through. May GOD hold and comfort you tonight and each night for the rest of your lives.~~Dorothy Bowling, Louisville, Ky.

BY Anonymous on May 08, 2008 | | | | 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 his call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work or pray. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found peace at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. Perhaps my time has seemed all to brief, don't lengthen it with undue grief. Lift up you hearts, and share with me. GOD wanted me now, He set me free.---In memory of David L. McDowell

BY Anonymous on May 07, 2008 | | | | There beside a grave she stands, a folded flag clutched in her hands. A silent teardrop on her face, her brave young child has entered grace. She does not hear the sermon said, just memories run through her head. The child she held so long ago, the child with faith she let go. The child who heard the nation's call, and in the end gave it all, without fear or thoughts of self, thoughts of freedom and little else. The bugle sounds TAPS in the wind, a mournful song it does send. A reminder to us all, that for freedom, this price was paid, and her sweet young to rest was laid.--Thank You Mr. McDowell for Defending America and Freedom all over the world.--Your courageous sacrifice will never be forgotten.--Norma Meyer-Coan, Louisville,Ky.

BY Anonymous on May 07, 2008 | | | | The Soldier Poem---I was that which others did not want to be. I went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do. I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctatntly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness....should I fail.I have seen the face of terror; felt the stinging cold of fear; and enjoyed the taste of a moments love. I have cried, pained, and hoped....but most of all, I have lived times others would say was best forgotten. At least someday I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was....A Soldier.
