I'm always amazed every time I read about your family and their service to our country.  The timing was not right for  my Dad. When he tried to enlist for WWI they told him he was too young.  When he tried to enlist for WWII, they told him to go home and take care of his five children that he was too old.

I knew there was something special about you, Pat. Thanks for the great post. You have a family filled with people who understand self-sacrifice. Happy Memorial Day. Thank you and your family for their sacrifice.

You have a long list of veterans in your family. Happy Memorial Day to you.

Yes Pat and it was doubly tough for those who did not want to go, but did go out of patriotism. Of course, we must not forget the families who suffered the daily torment of wondering if their loved ones were safe.🌺
