The Post lost more members again. Unfortunately I did not have the honor of being able to attend the services of Mr Mello, Mr Silva or Mr Valverde. I did have the honor of attending Mr Gama's services and meeting his family. Bob had been fighting leukemia for some time and caught pneumonia this year. Pneumonia also took Mary Azevedo, Stanley's wife of 54 years. Stanley himself had a battle with it. Dominic Gullo is experiencing ill health also and is in a convalescent home. Lets keep all these people in our thoughts and prayers.
For any illnesses or passing’s, I can be reached at 408-251-5187.
Ken.
Taps
The bugle call "Taps" had its origins on a battlefield
of the Civil War. After the union suffered a large number
of casualties in a battle near Richmond, Virginia, Brigade Commander
Colonel Daniel Butterfield reflected with sadness upon the men  he
hand lost. Unable to compose music, he hummed a melody which
his aid wrote down in musicalnotation. The company bugler
played it that night to honor their dead comrades. Taps was
officially recognized by the United States Army in 1874. Accompanied
by the drumbeat, Muffled Ruffles, it is the highest honor given
to those who have died in service to our country.
If there is a request for services please call Ken (408)251-5187.
Thanks to those who have volunteered to attend services for our
comrades and actually do.
