I am so PROUD to be from Military family.

My Dad's headstone


His ashes are buried in Jacksonville National Cemetery, this past weekend my sister was able to go there and take this picture for me.  How appropriate it happened to be Memorial Day weekend.

My Grandpa (Mom's Dad) was a World War II Vet.  He stormed Normandy and survived.  We knew his brother died that fateful day and is buried there but we had no idea Grandpa was there too.   My Mom took my Grandpa to a traveling WWII exhibit and he told her he was there too.  He had never told any of us.  He was the strong silent type.   He only told me he loved me once but I never doubted it for one minute EVER!
