260525 Memorial Day

Once a year we stop to give thanks to those Soldiers, Sailors and Marines who gave their lives to protect ours.

I’ve been to a few places where war was fought, Corregador, Singapore, Phillipines, Japan, Midway Island, Wake Island, Vietnam. Those places where many many fought and died to protect our USA.

I manned the rails on the Kitty Hawk as we entered Pearl Harbor, looking down over the USS Arizona. It’s a sight to see.

My father, my uncle and Joyce’s father all saw combat in WWII. They are gone now. My nephew spent 23 years in the army, in Iraq, Iran, Panama, South Korea and many other places around the world.

Thanks to Dave Barth (Who I served with many years ago) this is a 6 minute video of places where soldiers fought, died and were buried in WWII. You needn't see all of it, but watch enough to get an idea of how many fought and died during WWII
Memorial day
God bless them all.
