On this Memorial Day, I’d like to share a powerful photo from my father’s collection. This is why we honor our men and women each year – their sacrifices should never be forgotten.
If you are fortunate enough to still have a family member or friend who is a surviving WWII veteran, this might be a good day to sit down with them and talk about their service. Their voices are our link to this important time in history.
