REMEMBER OUR VETERANS TODAY AND A BELATED 238TH BIRTHDAY

My father, who served in the USMC during the Korean Conflict

 

One of the reason's I have the freedom to write this blog is because of those who have served our Country, many of them who have given their lives in that service. Please remember our veterans and their service to our Country today, Veterans Day.

Also, this past weekend, November 10th, marked the 238th birthday of the United States Marine Corp. This was a day that was always remembered in our household by my father who proudly served as a US Marine during the Korean Conflict. He would always remind us "Once a Marine, always a Marine.

I remember the pride I felt, amid the sorrow of his loss, the day of his funeral when a Marine in his dress blues presented my mother with the American flag at my fathers funeral.

I don't think they let them smile in their photos like that now
