While searching out past members of the
104Th Engineers we learned of the passing
of a fellow Veteran.
Ronald R.Meadows passed away in April
26, 2005, he left behind Patricia a loving
wife, 2 daughters, Stephanie and Julie, a
son, Sean and Don his twin brother.
As fellow Veterans lets keep his memory
alive, and do not forget the family, when a
friend leaves this mortal world he leaves
behind a lot of holes.
A card or phone call is always appreciated.
Final Inspection

A dead soldier was facing God,
For lives will always pass;
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward, now
How shall I deal with you;
Have you always turned the other cheek,
To my bible always true?"

The soldier snapped to attention,
"No, Lord, I guess I aint;
It seems that we who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint."

"I've had to work most Sundays,
My work was always rough;
At times I have been violent,
Because the job was tough."

"But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep;
Though I worked a lot of overitme,
When my bills became to steep."

"I never passed a cry for help,
But often shook with fears,
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I have wept unmanly tears."

"I know I don't deserve a place,
Among these good folks here;
They never wanted me around,
Unless a war was near."

"But if you have room for me,
It need not be too grand;
I never had, or needed much,
Im sure you understand."

A silence fell around that throne,
Where saints had often trod;
The dead soldier, with baited breath,
Feared judgement from his God.

"Step forward now, U.S. soldier,
You've borne your burdens well;
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done you're time in hell."
If you have a fond memory, a
kind word, a poem, a picture
or a word of encouragement
for the family, that won't fit in
the guest book, send it to
rlkeiper@ptd.net and it will be
posted

I placed a call to Andy Mullis, he and
Fletcher Morris were going over
pictures and when I informed him of
Ron's passing, he said they were just
looking at his picture. Bottom is Ron
Meadows, left to right-Fletcher Morris,
Larry Goodwin, and Robert Miller.
