We did indeed mark the day and acknowledge the sacrifice, honor and the peace made possible by those who have served. My Dad was a highly decorated officer in the Pacific in WWII and those years defined much of his character throughout his life. He told us many stories but as you say, perhaps kept the most painful to himselfl. We are very proud of him, too. Thank you for this remembrance. xoGeorgiannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02298718026210625558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355157437969935487.post-37411855284784884772010-11-12T18:03:03.539-06:002010-11-12T18:03:03.539-06:00Beautifully written, Relyn.

Most of us...Relyn, this was so perfectly expressed.<br />Most of us have no idea. We are so blissfully ignorant, aren't we? All I know, is that war is a horrible horrible thing, and it deeply saddens me that we haven't learned from the past. The human race is slow to figure things out.<br />We give thanks in Canada today too. I will think about my grandfather who told me a few amazing wartime stories of his own. I miss him terribly, and wish he was here with me now to tell me those same stories just one more time.Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803308252202460126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355157437969935487.post-4690913181061087772010-11-11T14:35:27.624-06:002010-11-11T14:35:27.624-06:00Very thoughtful post...yes,they take the young, br...Very thoughtful post...yes,they take the young, brave and best...Teri and her Stylish Adventure Cats https://www.blogger.com/profile/00995773243323674858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355157437969935487.post-62337379137937376132010-11-11T13:31:16.740-06:002010-11-11T13:31:16.740-06:00So beautifully said, Relyn.So beautifully said, Relyn.Gaylehttp://planetmfiles.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355157437969935487.post-57241415105918148302010-11-11T13:23:05.632-06:002010-11-11T13:23:05.632-06:00Love and hugs and kisses
