Well done Lisa. Thanks for sharing. Thanks to all that served.
Your immediate family has really stood up, cousin! Thanks to all!
Hey Lisa….. Magnificent history. I’d like to add 2 more names, Christopher C. Renwick (1952 – 2001)Petty Officer, 1st Class, U.S. Navy and Donald “Hopp” Renwick, SSGT, U.S. Army, Korean War (my dad’s brother,,,,, we called him “Uncle Hopp”).
Thanks, cuz! I’ll add them. (Cousin Hopp was such a funny guy! Miss him!)
Hello Kermit Renwick, I attended Westview Elementary School in Petersburg ,Virginia with you and your twin, Christopher. Sorry to observe that Christopher is decease since 2001—He was my first love…..I often thought about him when the two of you moved from the area. I am in North Carolina and it was my understanding that he too lived in NC. Hope his family and his namesake is blessed. This is a lovely memorandum to your veteran family members. My son is a Colonel in the Army and my daughter is also a veteran. I, too, am a veteran. I have 3 grandchildren that are officers in the military.
Hello, Jacqueline. Thanks for posting. My cousin Christopher was living in northern Virginia when he passed. Best regards.
Thanks, Lisa. That listing is so special. Your dedication is wonderful. (A mother’s right to boast. ❤️)
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Cousin for sharing. Very well done. I am so proud of what you do and love reading the history of our family. Angela Ramseur Miller.
Thanks so much, Angie!
Thank you so much, Lisa. It meant so much to me to see my husband Richard Aldridge’s name on your distinguished list. God Bless You for all the hard work you do for the Aldridge/Henderson Clan.
Thank you for your kind words, Carmen. Take care ❤️.
