My Dad was in the Korean War, he was in Korea when I was born. He spent a cold miserable winter there without proper boots or clothing. I think he still moves his toes all night long..to keep them from freezing. Sometimes the snow would cover the foxholes just like a blanket and he would have to dig himself out in the morning.
My Dad on the right and one of his friends, this was taken in the Enlisted Club in Tokyo, Japan where he was sent on R and R.
I would like to thank all the Soldiers in my life, my Dad, my husband, my baby brother and my nephew. Army, Air Force and Navy Veterans. My nephew is presently active duty in the Navy. Happy Veterans Day to all the soldiers out there! :)
Wonderful photo of your dad and his friend Connie. I would like to thank all of those who have served our country and those who still are. May God bless.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Let us thank all service personnel for their sacrifice and let us long for a time when such sacrifice is no longer necessary.
ReplyDeleteMy father was a WWII veteran. He flew on a B24 Liberator over Germany. He passed away a few years ago but I would still like to thank his spirit and all who have served and are serving today for their sacrifice to help protect our freedom.
ReplyDeleteThank you for honoring those who have served and are serving. Sometimes they are forgotten.
ReplyDeletePlease thank everyone in your family for serving. Dad was a World War II veteran.
My father was in WW2 a British soldier fighting in Singapor,and my mum was in the war in Britian. He is gone now as is my mum, their memorie lives on in us ! Lest we forget , Remember them all then and now !
ReplyDeleteI was so moved by the Memorial to the Korean Veterans in Washington, DC. It showed how miserable and cold they were, and how they suffered. I also honor all in my family and friends who have served: my dad and uncles, son, nephews and nieces.
ReplyDeleteWhat a price that has been paid for us all.
ReplyDeleteThe husband's uncle died on the very last day of WW2 a very sad day for the family.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine the cold and terrible conditions for many soldiers?
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of your dad.
Great photo of your dad:) My dad was in the merchant marine during WW2.
ReplyDeleteThanks to all who have and are serving.
It is Remembrance Day here in Canada.
Great Header photo.
Great memorial. Good photo of Dad. Somehow they could still smile!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me tear up just to think about them all. Our freedom is so very fragile and to think it is again on the line.
ReplyDeleteMy step-uncle was also in the Koren war and he talks about the cold as if it became a live living thing of torment.
ReplyDeleteTell you Dad...THANK YOU, for me please.
