Letters And Images Regarding A Beloved Son:
John J. Mason - WWII, for William P. "Doc" Mason - Vietnam KIA
John J. Mason - WWII, for William P. "Doc" Mason - Vietnam KIA
To properly memorialize these men, we must try to live our lives to the fullest in their stead by being the best sons and daughters we can be, the best husbands and wives and fathers and mothers we can be, and the best citizens we can be. This is what we owe them.
