VISITING MY FOLKS' GRAVES

As I drove from the Old Soldiers' Home in Washington, D.C. to the newly rebuilt Naval Home in Gulfport, Mississippi, which had been totally destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, I stopped enroute at Riverview Memorial Gardens in Spring Lake, North Carolina to place a national flag and a bouquet of flowers on the graves of my parents, Master Sergeant William Vincent Mallernee, United States Army (Retired) and Virginina Lee (Mapes) Mallernee.
