Remembering all who fought and lost their lives, remembering all who came home.
With gratitude, I remember my grandfather in law who fought and was wounded at the Somme in WW 1, my father in law who drove trucks in WW 2 through liberated Europe and who could never speak about what he saw.
My parents, both still very active, served... my father in the Merchant Marines up and down the Atlantic Coast and my mother in the Womens Division of the Air Force, stationed on the west coast watching for enemy planes. I was fortunate to go to a reunion of these women a few years ago .... what a group, how young they were during the war and how young at heart they were at the reunion, all of them well into their 80's.

To all our veterans from all the wars thank you!
Let our future be filled be peace.
