Eternal Rest grant unto him, O Lord.
And let Perpetual Light shine upon him.
May he Rest in Peace. Amen.
To: Apple Pan Dowdy
Your father was a real hero!
Too bad he didn't want to share his outlook on life with us! That is our loss!
Men like your father were/are our true treasures of America!
To: Apple Pan Dowdy
He was proud to have had the privilege of serving his country for 41 years as a Marine Aviator We were lucky to have him! Semper Fi to him, and your family. I just visited Arlington, it is an amazing place that left me speechless, with tears in my eyes.
And here is a call for a "roll call" of sorts, to all you former or current service men who lurk here. C'mon out and get your due welcome!

Heartfelt sympathies to your family and a salute to your father-in-law.
To: KC Burke
I am also a Freeper who visits several times a day, but never posts. Bob was a good friend of mine and the father of my son-in law. He will be greatly missed. Goodbye Bob. We will see you and Alice later.
To: Apple Pan Dowdy
Although he was never quite able to get up the nerve to post here, he avidly read and enjoyed all of your posts daily.Prayers for you and your family for your loss.
And, I am sure we lost out too, because he never posted here, but I hope if he ran across a post or two of mine, he was able to get a chuckle out of them....

My deepest sympathy to the family of this gone but not forgotten American hero.
To: Apple Pan Dowdy
My condolences. God bless your father-in-law.
To: First_Salute
Thank you, F.S.
One of my good friends arranged for the honor detail to fold the flag at graveside.

At Free Republic I have the opportunity to rub shoulders (figuratively) with some of the finest people in the world.

Robert has gone home, to share eternal life, with other Americans that loved and served their country. A man among men, he will be warmly welcomed.

My condolences to your family.
May God grant you & your family peace, and I pray that your father new he was a hero of America and represented all that is right with this country, Honor, Duty, Integrity. Love of God & country. One does not spend 41 years in service for self. I would also like to say that your whole family deserves respect for without the families support warriors like your father could not do what he has accomplished.
Semper Fi!

From a former Naval Aviator (1971-1977), a big salute! I sure hate we are losing these valuable and noble older individuals who are my parent's age. There will never be any more like them, that is for sure. God Bless and Be With You!
