16 May 2002 IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our son and brother, Michael Leroy Ebert who lost his life in Hue, South Vietnam March 21, 1968. OUR MIKE By Bob Immel The sacrifices that we give If they be bad or good, Are often hard to realize And harder understood. The burden seems unbearable The price is sometimes high, With God alone to comprehend Or know the reason why. Our Mike was but a growing boy He loved, he laughed, he cried, For like a boy he lived his life But, like a man he died. He always did his very best Right from the very start, And we will always know that he Did more than just his part. He was loved by all who knew him His friends were everywhere, Perhaps that's why this had to happen While he was over there. For no one Mike had ever met Could have dealt him such a blow It had to be from someone that He didn't even know. Now, his parents and his brother Must somehow face the fact That Mike is in a better place And is never coming back. Where all young soldiers go who fought And gave their very best, Mike stands up straight and tall and proud And stands out from all the rest. Sadly Missed By his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dean Ebert and brother, David Ebert dlhaujfan@aol.com

 

Please know that you are not forgotten. We remember you as an athletic champion, a classmate, and friend, but most of all, as a fellow veteran who gave the ultimate sacrifice for his family, friends, and country. Rest in peace and know that you are remembered fondly and sadly missed. From his friends and fellow veterans, Charlie Bill Murnan, Sandy Murnan Hine, SMSGT David Hine (USAF RET) dlhaujfan@aol.com   16 Mar 2002

31 Jan 2004 I just want to say to the Ebert family that Mike is in our prayers. Even to his cousins and relatives who only knew him as their hero, and looked up to him when I was but a young boy of 10 I'll always remember him, and wish I could thank him for our freedom. Sincerely, Mike's cousin, C. Douglas Mitchell E-mail address is not available.

 

01 May 2006 My name is Zack Rodriguez and I am reading these wall postings as an assignment for my ROTC class at the University of Texas. As a future officer of the United States Army, reading these postings has really opened my eyes to the personal loss to family and friends that goes along with every soldier who does not return home. More than ever, I now see the future soldiers that I will be leading as my responsibility, not only for their well being, but for their families as well. I would like to thank Corporal Ebert for his sacrifice along with every other veteran willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. Sincerely, Zack Rodriguez texasboy13@mail.utexas.edu
