I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith


Please pray for Tommy "PoP" Aaron. PoP has been SHNV's webmaster for years and a dear friend. I found out tonight that he's in the hospital with stomach cancer and he had his stomach removed. Thanks in advance for your prayers.

How sad, but we knew it was coming. I will remember him from his words below, among many, many others. Thanks man and say hi to my Confederate ancestors, please.

  4. That sucks Brock.... I knew I hadn't been seeing updates from him recently, but you figures he's taking a break or pushing back a bit like everyone does, it seems. Hate to hear this. PoP is a great guy with a big heart. He'll be in our prayers.

  6. Thanks y'all. He's been fighting it for years and it's amazing how long he has persevered. I'm trying to find a picture of him in Vietnam, but haven't so far. I've instructed the funeral home to have a Pig Pickin' and a Dixieland band when they put me under at Dixieland. My only complaint is that I'll miss it.:)

  10. Was back in hospital, lost a lot of blood. Got home night before last from Nashville VA Hospital. They found more cancer and a bleeding ulcer which is on my surgery scar tissue and can't fix just now fix now.... They give me 3 units of blood and I was told they could not operate on this new cancer as I was too weak and having no immune system said they would have to keep giving me blood & iron every week. I stay in pain, weak and sick 24/7 but the Lord provides.

    Brother's love and blessings to y'all,
