Ralph Styles...Veteran and American Hero 1910-2008
...Web page tribute to Ralph Styles....This photo is a repost but thought it appropriate for today. Thanks to all the veterans that have preserved our liberty and freedom over the years, many making the ultimate sacrafice....
I was cycling one morning in Siesta Key Florida and was lucky enough to catch the daily flag raising ceremony at Ralph's seaside home. Afterwards he sat at this outdoor table by the flag pole and had his morning breakfast. I introduced myself and thanked him for his service to our nation, we only talked breifly, but I will never forget meeting him......the next time I visited Siesta Key he had passed on and this memorial photo was taped to his flag pole by the creator of the above website.....Thanks for your service Ralph
