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...

Thank you for this tribute. May we go with you to the Memorial after the parade? It would be an honor.
