Myrtle Henderson Rockwell,Lieutenant Navy Nurse & Capt. Joe Rockwell

Myrtle was a Navy Nurse, and loved it. She met her husband at a Navy Hospital while he was in for some care. They were married I believe in 1950 were married for 37 years, Joe went to be with the Lord in 1987.

Those who knew them both said they had a wonderful marriage. Joe had some really nice wall certificates from the Navy signed by Presidents like Eisenhower. I showed them to his grandson but he was more interested in money goods. What could he get from the estate that was money. Money money money, that's all he and his wife were about it seems. He missed it. He has no clue where "real" value is versus apparent. You can't take it with you and even if you could without God's saving Grace in Christ, what good is money in hell.? :)  And if we could take it why would you? If you are a Christian ( I Corinthians 15:1-5) then the earthly garbage is not worthy to be compared to the glories ready to be revealed. 

Myrtle and Joe loved their Country, The United States of America and were glad to serve. I have a picture of Joe, he looks like he was a real man. He too looks like he could have been in movies.

Our country has changed over the years. Or as my dad used to say, "times don't change people do." True enough dad. People have changed over the years and simply don't have the convictions they used to or the morals. These men and women built this country and thieves within are stealing "their" and "our" America blind and running it in the ground.
