THE "UNSUNG HEROES OF MEMORIAL DAY

EVERY MEMORIAL DAY WE REFLECT ON AMERICA'S HEROES. But what about the "Unsung Heroes" we never hear about?

My Grandmother Goldie,from Russia, had 14 children, only 9 survived. My Grandmother Frieda,from Poland,
also had 14 children and 9 survived. Both of my grandparents came to The United States, worked hard, only spoke
Yiddish, but they managed to feed, clothed and had a roof over their heads, without any Govermental help.
How did they do it, I don't know, unless working eighteen hours a day, without a phone, a car, a television, a refrigerator,
or shopping at Gelson's.

My dear friend, George, picked a "how to book" on computers and soon sold a "Program" to The United States Navy.
Not bad for a kid from East Los Angeles. George, now is a well respected business man and nobody handed him
a "silver" plate.

Irving Berlin was an immigrant, who spoke no English, when he arrived and saw the Statue Of Liberty.
He went on to write the songs that will forever remain in our Hearts and Soul. Mr. Berlin wrote "God Bless America"
and donated all royalties to The Boy Scouts Of America. Which one of our Rock Bands, Super Star actors, singers,and Computer Mavens
has donated any one of their "Mega Bucks" royalties to any institutions for the betterment of mankind?

These Giants of survival should be an insperation to all Americans. This is only a few of the"Unsung Heroes", who indeed
are "MEMORIAL"

I wish you and yours a Happy Memorial Day. My name is Marshall Bitkower and as Mr. Rolex once said "Only Time Will Tell.
And "Good Night" Mrs. Calabash", wherever you are.
