We should all be grateful to those who serve our countries and have given so much so that we can all be safe and free.

Thank you for this lovely post. We will never forget those who gave of their lives so we may be free. We travel to the US on Friday to be with family for Thanksgiving and celebrate birthdays--very excited! TONS to do, though... LOL! I hope to visit at your place at least the once before we leave. :o) Happy Days, my friend ((BIG HUGS))Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9223132904103528978.post-26832227989815616462010-11-15T14:45:12.068+01:002010-11-15T14:45:12.068+01:00I am always amazed, looking at the family photos f...I am always amazed, looking at the family photos from the war era of all the grinning young men raring to go. It's hard to fathom how sometimes a whole family can get wiped out, and yet others, like my pappa's had all 6 boys fight and survive. On the flip side my gran's elder brother, the only boy in her family that was old enough to go to the war, did not come home. We should be the grateful and thankful to them all for putting themselves in the line of fire so that we could be freeKaty Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374079358515448439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9223132904103528978.post-20460442898336062372010-11-14T23:22:52.547+01:002010-11-14T23:22:52.547+01:00Thank you Catherine, what a great blog post.

I also have spent today thinking of how brave they are and how luck we are that they were and are so brave.<br /><br />And yes, I too believe that where ever these brave men of WWII are they have certainly earnt their place and are probably having a fantastic party with all of their loved ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
