Our Military
Thank you!
This country and ability to create this web site is brought to you by the United States Armed Forces.
Without the Armed Forces of the United States of America our country would seize to exist as we know it.
We in the United States, are only afforded our fake reality of how the world really is because these brave soldiers have allowed it to happen.
I have the the most respect for these individuals putting their only life on the line for the United States and their missions! They had to leave their family and friends – please show your support for them and all who are serving!

I remember the “Royal Gems’, a drill team that i saw practicing at the D.A.V. on the corner of Purchase and Charles Sts.
I recall the Royal Gems, too. But here I’d like to honor Fred Chase, who gave his life for us in Viet Nam. He lived with his brother Billy and family on the street that ran behind the back playground entrance to Brown School … ?Prospect St.? Oops I forget that, but Fred’s memory deserves honor.

Thank you for adding Freddie Nicklys Chase/
I was in the Royal gems and we practiced in the parking lot on the corner of Kent and Washington Streets. I was only in the 4th grade at the time, so I do not remember who was in it, except for the Lattime twins (Pat and Pam).
