July 1999 - Don Shelton's e-mail response:
"I am in the Dallas area, but
I met a guy in Bremerton on the net. He got
involved in an effort to replace the
flag pole in the cemetery where
Shields is buried. The crew cleaned
up the place and (rebuilt or replace,
not sure now) updated the flag pole.
In conversations with him, I asked
about Shields and he sent me a lot
of information which I decided to put
in a tribute page.
Since I created the page, I have received
email from his wife, daughter,
and (the) parents of the person killed
at the same battle. They wanted to
contact the Shields family, so I provided
addresses.
I'm glad to see someone providing tributes
to fallen comrades. There
is not enough patriotism now, maybe
your pages can help reinstate some
pride in country and in serving that
country.
My relationship.... friend of a friend
of the family...
tnx
don"
