Leavenworth, KS

Hi, I am writing for two reasons. One to tell all that my father-in-law...Sgt. Max Roemer from WWII vintage has passed. I also wanted so very much to sing the praises of the color guard that attended his funeral here today in Leavenworth, KS. Stunning......enough said! Max survived several islands in the WWII era to include Okinawa. He continued to serve into China. He was a combat photographer and his stories have brought the war to life for years. General Conway may well be a distant relative of my family (maiden name was Conway). I have no idea how to pass this information to the front but if someone can... please do. I have lived in Leavenworth, KS my entire life. I have attended numerous funerals with military support. Semper Fi really means something. The crew this morning hit a home run. God Bless the USA and the USMC. Bob
