Good morning Bowers descendants. I created this page in 2015 to honor our Bowers ancestors. There seems to be some confusion concerning this page. This page has not been taken over. There has been some personal and maybe slightly inappropriate posts lately that I have tried to clean up. If you have any questions or concerns about this page, please contact me. ~ Lisa Johnson Guidos

There is nothing nobler than
risking your life for your
Country. “Over all our happy
Country, over all our Nation spread,
is a band of noble heroes – is our
Army of the dead. What can I do
for my country, I am willing to do.”
A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than onesself.
