Memorial Day 2009
Today I will be escorting my mother(Gramma) to the Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery near Rittman Ohio for our annual recognition ceremony of those veterans who sacrificed for our country and for all those who served our nation in the military. My father passed away on April 6th, 2007. He was 88 years old. He had served in the Army Air Corps in WWII was shot down and held in a POW camp for two years. His health was affected in many and various ways all the remainder of his life. Perhaps the most devastating one being the traumatic horrors of being a prisoner in a Nazi prison(stalag) camp(mental).
Today, with my Mom, I salute him and pray for the advancement and peace of his eternal spirit.
We will place flowers on his site along with thousands of others who do the same for their loved ones.

Grampa was a hero, a real one, from a time before our heroes were sports stars and pop singers.
Thank you for saving mankind from evil, Grampa. We wouldn't be here without you.
