Joe Alexander: The fallen soldiers reside in American flag
Lee Maddox: On this Memorial Day, as we celebrate with family and friends, it’s important to always remember those men and women that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. And for Loudon County’s Joe Alexander Memorial Day and every day will always be time for reflection for his brothers he lost in Vietnam in 1968
Joe Alexander: I went into the battle with about 40 paratroopers, and of the 40, 8 were killed in action. 13 were wounded in the ones who weren’t wounded, and including those who were, who did survive all survivors were scarred for life.
Lee Maddox: Joe Alexander was a platoon leader in the third battalion of the 506 Airborne Infantry Regiment, and he himself was wounded five times. And he’s thankful that he grew up on the farm in Loudoun County and credits the values he learned there for helping him through his time in Vietnam.
Joe Alexander: And those kinds of things. Were so critical in not just my life but particularly in the military service as a as a patriot in our country,
Lee Maddox: Alexander says Memorial Day should always be remembered by all Americans,
Joe Alexander: Beginning of the Revolutionary War that has died on our behalf so we can have a free country. We can be a sovereign country, we can govern ourselves because so many people have sacrificed their lives but I encourage everyone to take just a moment and it wouldn’t take long during Memorial Day to remember those people who gave their lives in sacrifice in service to our country.
