In memory of my son SPC Geoffrey Whitsitt (KIA 1-13-2010) and to honour my son MN1 Steven Whitsitt (active duty). Both joined the service because of 9/11.
How wonderful our small town is remembering events of 9-11. Due to health issues cannot attend but will pray for those participating and our country at 1pm tomorrow
