Thanks for sharing that with us MB. With time we tend to forget the huge sacrifices that our family members made back during WWII. My husband's father spent a year on a ship in the South Pacific near Hawaii and his uncle went MIA in the Philippines.

Yes, that is true.

My husband's father spent a year on a ship in the South Pacific near Hawaii and his uncle went MIA in the Philippines.

We owe them so much. We lost so many good men in the Pacific, and in Europe, Korea and Vietnam......men that were actually just boys. I pray for the day when our freedom doesn't come at such a heavy price as we have had to pay throughout history to defend it, and are still paying in Iraq today.
