My mom's brother died at Guadacanal in WWII..remembering him. My dad was in the Navy in the harbor at Iwo Jima when the flag was raised, he was 17. My son served in the Marines six harrowing years. Both Grandfathers were in France during WWI. Memorial day means a lot to us. Thank you for honoring those who served.
Beautiful post, Paulette, and a great reminder of the cost of our freedom.
