EPILOGUE
of those physicians herein documented. These men and women, wearing the uniform of one of the seven uniformed services from 1955 to the present, continue a legacy of dedication and commitment to our Nation by Delaware physicians from before the birth of the United States of America until the present.
A special thank you to Ted Kestner, MD, Mary Fenimore, and Katie Hamilton for their active participation in and support of the Contemporary Veterans’ Project.
Now we stand behind old men’s faces Speak of forgotten times and places
So bent are those who wouldn’t break Who did fearsome things with lives at stake Their shadows sharp and darker then Now fading away are these old men
But no one can steal the legends bold Not thieves nor liars nor growing old
To never weave excuses that some men must But stand with men who earned our trust And speak of what we did back then Before we became these old men.
