One of my uncles served in WWII and was stationed just down the road at Pope Army Airfield (now Pope Air Force Base). He never did really tell anyone what he did, but he told me enough stories for me to take a good guess. DragonLadys last blog post..Where’s the road?

@Larry - That was an interesting story. I can only imagine what it would have been like. PS: You need to add your URL in your profile.

My dad served in WWII. He died when I was quite young and so really didn’t know him. He wrote to his sister (my Aunt Lillian) regularly for six years during the war. She kept these letters bundled up and stored in her basement. When she passed away a few years ago, my cousin gave the stacks of letters to us. To say it was emotional reading them is an understatement. It gave me a glimpse into a 20 year old serving overseas in the war and made me proud ofr my father.

The song makes me sad. We have our own remembrance day too, and we owe our freedom to our national heroes and soldiers. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance, and many are still imprisoned due to inequalities. Many people's lives still feel incomplete because of how society treats me. Luckily, it's much better now than before as tolerance towards differences are beginning to set in... John Raul Joven IIs last blog post..I Would Vote No On Proposition 8
