May God bless Raymond, and all other soldiers.
My father was a Veteran of WW2. I seem so far away from all what is going on now, ... as I only know of WW2 from what little my dad told me of the horrors he saw (in only small bits & pieces). I just know our boys now are seeing such horrors as well, from friends who have kids over there.
Today is a special day for me. I have my Fathers Flag from when the 21 gun salute was done at his funeral at age 75 in 2001. Remembering how each shot rang out and shook me to my core. I was looking at his flag (which I keep over my TV) this morning and all his patches & pins from his Army uniform and remembering all Veterans.
Thank you for your post.
