In Memory of Virgil Webb
WWII Veteran
Loving Grandfather of Joy Owens

I Know A Man
I know a man who lives
His life with dignity --
He lives every single day
Directed by principles
For right’s sake for all to see…
I know a man with honor
And integrity at his core --
He gives generously
And he never keeps score…
Each day allows him
The opportunity to live
Life based upon values
Set within his heart –
It is for right’s sake
That for over ninety years
He has distinctly been set apart…
He recalls his years
Aboard the Willie B --
Each day he reminisces
And relives his years
In service to his country…
He was a gunner’s mate
In World War II
As he served his country
And he is a very present
Part of the freedom
Each day we see…
There are those
Like Virgil who live
With honor and dignity
And it is for right’s sake
That freedom is a part
Of each day we see…
As a young man
Virgil gave his all
With honor and integrity --
Let us always remember
That it is because of men
Like Virgil that freedom
Rings true for you and me…©
