Lemar was born in Cleveland Ohio and was no different from other young fellows, 　　except that he put his age up and entered the service at 15 years of age.HE WENT TO WAR WHEN MOST KIDS WERE PLAYING IN THEIR BACK YARDS.BELIVE ME WAR IS HELL,THEY ALL KILL PEOPLE. 　　IT DONT MATTER WHO YOU ARE,WHERE YOU COME FROM OR WHAT SIDE YOU ARE ON.WAR IS HELL.PAST,PRESENT OR FUTURE THEY ALL KILL PEOPLE, MAN,WOMAN OR CHILD,IT DON'T MATTER.THERE IS NOTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT WAR,WAR WILL TAKE YOUR HUSBAND,FATHER,DAUGHTER OR SON AND SEND THEM HOME BLIND CRIPPLED AND LAME,MANY DON'T COME HOME AT ALL ,YOU HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR LOVED ONES, FAMILY AND FRIENDS,YOU MIGHT LIVE IN A CITY,ON A FARM OR A ONE ROOM SHACK BUT ITS HOME TO YOU 　　AND THE BOTTOM LINE IS "HOME IS WHERE YOU WANT TO BE".. 　　 　　 　　 　　Lemar liked to write and guys in his outfit would ask him to write a letter home for them.. they would tell him special things about their loved ones back home and he would compose a letter for them to send home.When he was 17 he wanted to write a letter... just one special letter that would express the feelings and longings of men and women,past and present who find themselves in a far distance land away from home and their loved ones. A letter that would help their loved ones and others to have a better understanding of what they really think and how they really feel.. 　　 　　Well, LEMAR wrote that letter and after his discharge kept it locked in his heart and mind for over fifty years...
