17 Nov 2002 This is in memory of Talmadge Rhoden, who was greatly loved and missed so very much. You were defending your country in the time that you were called home. You are still so greatly respected and will always be in our hearts and thoughts. "God Bless All The Men and Women Who Defend our Country Every Day" With All Our Thoughts and Love, The Rhoden Family simmons22099@aol.com

 

11 Aug 2003 My hope and prayer is that everyone know and love our country for what she really is and what she stands for. May we nurture her strengths and strengthen her weaknesses so that she will always be a "Land of the Free, and Home of the Brave." From his nephew, Jimmie E Rhoden Jr. rhodenjr@snowhill.com
