Was back in my home town for a graveside service yesterday and took a walk through the cemetery afterward. Pretty amazing how many WW II Vets are laid to rest there, including my father, father-in-law, and step father-in-law.
I had a special occasion on Vets day. My grandson got out of the Army after two tours in Iraq and I was in the Navy from 1955 to 1961. A local restrant had free lunches for vets. What a great feeling I had to spend a special day with him. ( of course, a little ribbing between us about what branch was the best ) I am proud of ALL the service men and women !!!!!!
