Memorial Day Weekend
my Dad and two others, Army of Occupation, Europe
my Uncle and another Med Tech, possibly at West Point
a neighbor to my maternal Great Grandfather, Carl "Lieut" Nelson
my maternal Grandfather (on the left) with two other Merchant Marines
my Great Uncle in his Merchant Marine uniform
On Saturday, the boys and I went with their Boy Scout troop to place flags at the graves of veterans at the local cemetery. On Monday, the Scouts will march in the city Memorial Day Parade.
I get to be an artist, enjoy the religion of my choice and convictions, and have the hope of a safe future for my children because of all those who have served, are serving now, and who will serve in the future to protect our country.
May God bless them and protect those in the field.
