My gramps on my dads side[who p***ed several yrs ago] was also injured in the war! my uncle red who was 2nd wave on normandy, just had his 90th birthday last sat! he remembers everything! anywho....i think im most thankful for those heros and the ones that are still serving at this very moment! without them, we may not be with our familys enjoying this fine day! GOD BLESS THEM ALL! HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING, AND DONT LET TODAY BE THE ONLY DAY YOU ARE THANKFUL! GOD BLESS, TODD BREEDER REED pic of my grampa olson [who just p***ed]
Good to see you made a "good start" everybody will notice. Your Grandfather and Father were good men, the photo shows him proud, he would approve. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and be safe in all you do.
Be thankful for all veterans everyday you are free. As for myself: SP4 Robert Seghi U.S. Army '86-'89 with a short tour in Honduras umm ... training, yeah that's it we were training, kinda. sshhh !
I think thats a Marine raider patch on your Gramp's shoulder. One bunch of tough S.O.B.s My Dad was on Iwo, be proud of your Grand Father--they went thru hell.
he really did man! he never talked about the war till my gram died! they were married almost 60 yrs! it took losin her before he could say anything!ive always lived in the country and never had a chance to play with kids that often, but id spend every weekend and summer at there house in Alexandria [pop. 150] ....... best time of my life! they took me everywhere! they went to texas every winter and i couldnt wait for them to get home! i miss my grammas fish [that gramp caught in port isabel] more then anything!
Good to hear from you. How many coloring books can I send you this year for the kid's Christmas stockings? Bart
i still only have to 2 kids bart! well, 3 if you count me! thats what my wife says!but no worries bro, you can hand them out to some other kiddos if you know of any! i feel ya Rob! amazing what they lived through! makes us look pretty damn lame!
You really don't know what you've got until it's gone. Keep the good memories fresh and do good things in their honor.
