Memorial Day, 2009.

There are so many more to remember who are gone now.

Not just those in my family,

but those from other families, fallen because of war, hunger and wickedness.

Take a moment to thank someone who has served our country

and kept our families safe and happy.

Thanks, Dad- Viet Nam

(My father spent and hour the other day telling me the most beautiful and spiritual stories

about his serving and mission and serving his country. He was called to both

and was guided in both. He served as a chaplain's assistant in Japan.

He listened to the life stories of many soldiers about to die

and wrote to their families to tell them about their gallantry, their love and their passing.

He amazes me.)

Thanks, Grandpas:

-R. Wesley Chamberlain, WWII

-Chester Wright, WWII (Fighter Pilot)

-Glen J. Preece, WWII (Engineering, Cook)

-Earl J Frampton, Korea (Infantry in trenches)

-George P. Greenwell, WWII

I love you and miss you.
