My friend is gone now.....in that better place with his wife....and even Fred.(who didn’t last more than a week without those walks with Roger.)
I miss the talks we had.The long,sometimes rambling,talks of how we got here as a Nation...and perhaps where we will end up at.

The long talks of the desire of a people wanting to be Free...and the Iron Will that must be attached to that desire.....if for no other reason than for all of those who have been laid out...their faces covered.

For them.

P.S....I miss my friend...although,sometimes late at night ,I think I can still see him walking his old man walk...with that darn long eared beagle attached to his side.

Thank you Kathy, very good post. I had an elderly woman friend who was a nurse in WWII and served in Italy and Africa.

Oh the stories she could tell. I miss her dearly.

Keeping our heroes in mind, I plan on partaking in the local parade, and as always, I have my flag flying high.

Have a great weekend, Kathy and everyone, and thanks to my brother Veterans for defending my family.
