The Final Salute
	
“Brothers and Sisters-in-Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another. 

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Willie (Dub) Edward Hendrix our “Brother-in-Arms”.   To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Dub.   To Dub it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during the Korean War while serving in the U.S. Army.  Dub, we commend you for your honorable military service.  You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country.  You were a true friend. We bid you a sad farewell.  You will be dearly missed from among our ranks.  Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the 781 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 177 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to Dub’s family and loved ones.

Dub was a friend to many people, a good man and will be greatly missed.

Sorry to hear about Dub.  He was a great guy, I always enjoyed visiting  with him when our paths crossed.
