I had planned to visit a local Cemetary today, but the weather is too bad to risk my health (raining and cold, with fallen leaves everywhere - and I don't walk so good anymore....) So, instead, I will light some candles, and dig out one of my old Photo Albums, and wander down Memory Lane..... My adopted Dad was retired (disabled) Navy. My ex-husband and father of my kids is retired Army (after 12 years Air Force, he switched Branches, but stayed in same career field - Bomb Disposal including Nukes.) I will say some prayers for all my fallen Friends (I lost several friends in Vietnam, and the son of a friend in Iraq.) I will also say a prayer that Obama can Lead this country toward a more Peaceful Future..... |

Bless you Gryphon... My son and I will go to the graves of his Grandfather (Korea), Great Grandfather (WWI), Great Uncles (WW2 and Vietnam)...there is much to consider on a day like today, and while none of these men lost their lives in conflict, their lives were forever changed so we could live with privilege... |

Thank you Gryp for your remembrance.
Even after all these years since Korea, I still vividly remember several of my fellow crew members killed in 1953 after I was safely back home and running around on Whidbey Is. The A/C crashed on a mountain in the Northern part of Okinawa. Perhaps, had I been on the radar then, the crash would not have happened.
