Veteran's Day--11-11-11

The  guy that I married and had to share him with Uncle Sam. He served for two years, spending one year in Korea. He came home to us on February 2, 1955 

He was commander at the local VFW for four years and still is the Senior Vice Commander to this day!Bruce, our number 1 son joined the Army when he was a senior in high school and entered the service in August that year. Nearly tore my heart out to see him go!! He served a year in Germany and came home and married his high-school sweatheart. Proud of you too, Bruce!!

 And then there is Dean. He wanted to join the Army too just like his Dad and Bruce. I had such a hard time apart from the first two, so finally got him to join the National Guard instead. He was active in there for a few years--as the saying goes,"The Guards are on alert and always ready!" Way to go ,Son!! So proud of our men and thank God every day for sending them home to us. Thanks to all the others that served and are still serving to keep our country free~~Bless you all~~~
