Guys I received the info on Sgt. Sanders funeral to late, he was buried on Monday. If any one who knew him would like to send a little story or condolence message his family would apreciate it. If you write them here we will send them on.

      Just read about Sgt. Rufus Sanders passing.
  My condolence to his family.
      I wonder if he ever forgave me for
  taking the last half gallon of vanilla ice cream
  in the Mess hall that one day. I promise that I
  didn't take it to spite him, the Mess Sgt. said
  it was starting to melt, to take the whole thing,
  and if I didn't eat it all just to throw it away
  because he didn't have room in the freezer to save
  it.
      It sure is funny the things a person can remember
  just reading a mans name.
     
      May GOD bless him.
      May He "Rest in Pease" on a soft cloud.
