I salute Corporal Walter H Stoll. He was my grandfather, and he served his country in WWI in the 318th Cavalry Regiment. He enlisted at age 15, and was part of the last cavalry charges the US ever made. He saw two years trench warfare and all of the death and destruction that results.
He died in September of 1993. He was my hero.

I salute Corporal Edgar A Kayser, Sr. He was my father, and he served his country during WWII in the 82nd Airborne. He went in behind the lines at Normandy in a glider. An airplane made of plywood and 2x4's; no landing gear or motor. They towed him and 119 other volunteers behind a real airplane and cut the towrope over the Channel. Every glider landing in WWII was a crash landing...some the men inside walked away from...some they did not.
He died on Pearl Harbor Day in 1998. He was my hero.

I salute also my older brother, Sgt Edgar A Kayser, Jr. He served his country during the Vietnam War. He was a medical tech at 27th Surgical Hospital in Chu Lai, I Corps, one of the men who went to the medevac chopper. Every day he had to look at wounded soldiers and decide on treatment priority, who would live, and who he could only hold and watch die...but not let die alone. I was proud to serve in-country for four months with him.

Sgt Richard Kayser
Company G and Company II/Company G 75th Inf (abn)...the Ranger Companies
RVN August 1969 thru September 1971.

We are proud to have served...
