From West Texas to Louisiana.
Childhood memories of visits to Family in Shreveport would be incomplete without the anticipated presence of Cousin "Sister" and my Hero, C.C. Nowhere could be found a more gentle steady hand. C.C. was, is and will always be an inspiration upon which I can rely.
Love and Admiration,
Lanny Fiel

The Final Salute
Brothers in Arms, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged Hand Salutes as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This Hand Salute is the last that we shall render to Clement C. Chamberlain, Jr. our Brother-in-Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for C.C. To C.C. it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during the Korean and Vietnam Wars while serving as an aviator in the U.S. Marine Corps. C.C., we commend you for your honorable service. You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country. You were a true friend. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 961 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 233 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to C.C.'s family and loved ones.
