Thank you John, for recognizing the men and women who gave their lives
in service to this country. Thank you also, for remembering Jannypan who never let a patriotic holiday pass without a tributary post. We truly miss her.

I didn't really know Jan very well at all but have always noted the great respect with which she was viewed. And not only for her posts either. This is a lovely and fitting tribute which I'm sure will be warmly received by all those who knew her well. Thanks for sharing, John. Take care Debbie

    Debbie,

    Jan was unique in so many ways and was loved by all. She definitely would have enjoyed your weekly posts in honor of the special people you delight us with.

    Enjoy your weekend.

Yes, we miss our Jan so much! Thank you for this. We've had been friends since I joined FanStory in 2018 until she passed away. I never missed her patriotic posts and she never missed mine. We both had loved ones and brothers that fought in the Vietnam War. Thanks for sharing, John. God bless you richly.
All my best,
Sal :))

This is a truly lovely tribute to a wonderful person. I wish I could've known her longer, but she made a lasting impact in the short time I had. You honor her with your kind words and heartfelt recognition!

This is a wonderful tribute to Jan and I will miss her very much. I did shed some tears knowing she is gone. I will always remember her. An noble FanStorian. Thank you for sharing!

    Thank you Raul for reading this simple tribute for Jan. I appreciate your time.

    I have one question- why have you muted me?

Thank you for memorializing Jan and remembering all those who did so much for our country. It always brings tears to my eyes knowing I was honored at college while many of my generation gave the ultimate sacrifice to our country. This land does not deserve many of the ungrateful disobedient students we have today.

    One of my regrets is that I never did serve in the military.

    Thank you Jim for reading and sharing.

    It was my good, or bad, fortune to have a high number in the draft lottery. I still feel regret, however.

Oh yes, John, there isn't hardly a day that goes by that I don't miss her and think of her. And now with Memorial Day here I was thinking the same thing. Jan and I would talk for hours and she loved talking so much that I couldn't always answer the phone when she called. So now I have 13 voicemails from her that I listen to every once in a while and shed lots of tears. And I just don't have the heart to get rid of them.

I wish I had six stars to give you to honor her, but I know you will accept the virtual ones.

I have felt so guilty that I didn't call the authorities sooner when I suspected something was wrong. I knew it wasn't normal not to text everyday and talk a few times a week, but I just figured she just needed some space. Yet it wasn't like her.

Jan taught me so much when she was here. She is why I always offer help to the new people who come, so what she taught me was passed on.

She was a good friend to so many. I am a bit of a keeper, so I still have every text that she wrote me every day of our friendship. And my Jan folder holds so many memories of her.

Her love for the veterans was always special to me as my dad and grandpa also were from WWl and WWll. So I loved her for that.

Thanks for letting me get some of this out as I hope others will share with their Jan memories, but now it is time for me to quit as mine got a little long. Thank you again, John, for doing this. Love, Debi

    I?m not surprised at the friendship you developed with Jan. And I know you have tremendous amount of memories stored away in your mind.

    Your reviews can never be to long and I?m always here with an open mind, heart and ears for you. Please remember that and etch it somewhere.

    I have to get up early to go to work, so I?m going to sign off.

    Enjoy your weekend
    John

Thank you so much, John! It has been ten months since Jan went home to be with the Lord. It's easy to forget one as time passes on. But you have just showed us that you will always remember Jan and your moving gesture touches my heart. ð???

I was at the VA this morning and seeing so many of us old guys who are still left on the planet made me think back aways but quickly erased the thoughts for they only brought a sadness. Thank you, John for honoring the fine lady.
