  1. Hi Sharon - every family has someone to remember from those ghastly two world wars - perhaps necessary ones ... recent wars I'm not so sure ... but we need to salute all who serve, and their families and remember all who died serving ... thank you - Hilary

  3. Some families are heavily into the military, to which we should all be forever grateful for their service. My family had an uncle in the Korean war, but that's all I can think of who served during wartime. This was a lovely remembrance of your brave relatives.

"Stay" is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary
(A.B. Alcott). Stay and visit awhile. Your comments mean a lot to me.
