A FReeper that was awarded the Bronze Star in WW2 while fighting in the European Theater to bring down one of Obama's many roll models. He lived a long life that was full of love, and friends.
He is now with Christ, and in the presence of God.
When you think about it, he grew up at a time when the country was struggling through the depression. Then he joined the military to help defeat evil. He came home and did what most of his generation did, build this nation into the most powerful, prosperous country in the history of the world.
Bill grew up through the depths of Americas despair, and lasted the length of it's Zenith. It is only fitting the Lord took him home so he will not have to witness the final destruction of the country he gave so much for.
Sadly, in the last twenty years of Bill's life, he witnessed those who benefited the most from his generations hard work and sacrifice, willingly hand the country over to the very people he fought against in WW2.
We all thank you from the bottom of our heart, Wheelbarrow. Thanks for giving us a free country to grow up in. I just wish my generation would have done as good a job of defending it from all it's foreign and domestic enemies as yours did.
May the good Lord bless you with many rewards for your battle to free the least of His people who could not fight for themselves.
That is beautifully written. Thank you
Rest in peace, Bill Barrows.
