On a Hot Saturday morning Mark and I went to Cameron to honor Michael Lee Kempf who served in the Navy aboard the USS Hancock. He served in Vietnam and was awarded the Navy Unit Commendation during the Vietnam Conflict.

The parking lot was full so glad to see so many people there to support this family. Michael’s wife thanked us for being there in support of her late husband. Several family members and friends thanked us for being there. Shortly after the service started we retreated. I thanked Mark for being there and told him to be safe going home as he was on two wheels and it was very hot.

RIP Michael Lee Kempf
