WOW! Cleared up last evening and today is bright sunshine and up to 70. Course they're predicting rain again next week.
Going to travel down home today, about 95 miles, and decorate my families grave sites for Memorial Day. This is our yearly
pilgrimage. Then in the Fall we will go again and put things away for the Winter. This means a lot to me somehow.
My Father and his brother are both there side by side with their spouses and are both WWII vets. Also a Great Grandfather
who served in the Civil War and many many of my parents friends who also served.
Then tomorrow I'll watch the races, and on Memorial we will observe that special day.
My Father's family was 14 children and all but two of the 9 sons were in WWII as well as all 5 Brothers in Law.
My Grandfather was in The Rough Riders in the Spanish American War. I should also mention that three of my
Father's Sister in Laws were Army Nurses in Europe.
My Wife's Father was a Doctor and her Mother a Nurse in Patton's Third Army in Europe and her Uncle a Paratrooper
in the 82cd Airborne. Another Uncle was an eye Surgeon in the Third Army as well.
Surprisingly they all came home from the war with only two wounded. My Dad was one of the wounded.
I was the first Grandchild to go to VN and many more followed.
