Paul and Patrick. Two young guys growing up in Boone County. Paul from a small town in northern Boone. Connor, here in Columbia.
Two Missouri guys, one joined the Army, the other the Navy.
God Bless them and rest their souls.
God Bless them
I didn't know them before the Gulf War. I wish I did.
Every time I go by the Courthouse, where the memorial is located, I always think about them.
Tomorrow after the Memorial Day Parade, I will be there with others to remember them and the other brave men and women from Boone County who fought for freedom and peace in all America's wars.
I will salute these two young men and continue to remember...
Here is a link about Lt. Patrick Connor...

Yes, you may!
Thank you for this tribute. May they rest in peace.
