"First To Fall" is the story of one spirit lost in the maelstrom of World War II. This biography chronicles William Edward Cramsie's strong Irish values, his dedication as a West Point cadet and his heroic service with the 416th Bomb Group. In searching for facts about Cramsie's life, and his tragic death, it was my good fortune to meet and bond with many people whose paths would otherwise never have crossed mine. This blog is about that path of discovery. -- Wayne G. Sayles

Coming Home
Anyone who has an Email account has had more than one experience with forwarded inspirational messages. While these are always well intentioned, and often touching, they do tend to gang up on one's free time and tax one's ability sometimes to fully appreciate them. As a matter of course, I rarely pass them on. But, one came from a friend in the mail last week that I simply must share. Any copyright info was long since lost in the forwarding process but the origin is clearly a message from Ford Motor Company™. It is, in fact, a commercial of sorts. So, let's add the copyright back in and give full credit to Ford for producing the most poignant commercial that I have ever seen. Yes, even better than the Budweiser Christmas commercials. I'm not given to emotionalism, as all who know me well will quickly attest, but this video brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. Now, even if you are a fan of the new State-owned General Motors products, you owe it to yourself to watch this one. I'm pretty sure that Ford will forgive my transgression in passing it along.
