America will always remember her veterans

PeprallyUSA.com salutes America's Veterans.

Starting Tuesday, November 11, 2003, Veterans' Day, we will publish different veterans info and photos on our pages, until we have Veterans representing not only every state of the nation, but also every ethnic group that has found its way to these shores to enjoy the same freedoms these Veterans have fought to protect. Please send information about - yourself - or - a veteran you know and admire to 1000vetsalute@peprallyusa.com so that we may include you, him or her.

"My father, James Ashby, (above) is truly a proud old vet. He actually served twice with the US Army. He enlisted and served as an MP received an honorable discharge and then re enlisted on D day as infantry. He spent most of that tour in Europe and fought at Anzio where he was wounded and left on the beach for dead. Luckily he was rescued by an observant rescurer who saw one of his fingers move, and he was taken to a field hospital to receive treatment and recover. While he was in the field hospital it came under enemy fire and a mortor exploded near enough to him to blow both of his ear drums thus condeming him to a world of lost hearing.
He has always been very active in veteran affairs and activities and is a past commander of the Stanley Pennock Post in Solvay. He is now 88 years young and currently resides at Van Duyn Home and Hospital in Syracuse. His mind is sharp and he would love to hear from other vets or their families. His address is James Ashby, Room 710 N., 5075 W. Seneca Turnpike, Syracuse, NY 13215"--J. Murphy

"Lance Corporal Robert J. Mattera, Jr. (above) is my son. His deployment dates were Feb.7, 2003 to September 16, 2003, in Operation Iraqi Freedom. At the age of 21, he is now a combat Veteran of a Foreign War!!
Rob is a Nuclear, Biological & Chemical Defense Specialist. a Reservist with Bravo Company, 4th LAR our of Ft. Detrick, Maryland
He went into boot camp at Parris Island on October 14, 2001. He is still currently serving on Reserve status in the United States Marine Corps." --N. Sobeck, Woodbine, MD

Special Forces vet remembers seeing his daughter for the first time

Michael W. Jefferson, Command Sergeant Major, US Army Special Forces, now retired and living in El Paso, Texas sent in this photo, and wrote: This is a photo of me holding my daughter, Stevie, for the first time after parachuting into Fort Bragg, North Carolina, upon my return from Central America in 1985. Stevie was born while I was gone. She was, and still is, the most precious thing in my life. She endured many separations during the next 13 years as I continued to deploy around the world and each time I saw her when I came home, (it) was very special for me. At my retirement in 1998, she sang the song "Hero," for me, so I guess she forgave me for not being there when she was born.
