I wish my Dad had shared stories like that with me. He just wouldn’t talk about the war...

Dad didn't speak much of the bad times during the war. Even his v mails that we compiled into an album after his death did not mention much of the fighting.

He spoke of back home and his memories of it, the weather, and stuff like that. He did mention the death camps. His unit helped liberate one of them.

I don't know what my father would do if he ever met one of those Holocaust deniers.

I took a wreath and a stand out to the local National Cemetary this afternoon.

I miss my Dad.

I hear ya my FRiend. This is that time of year that our losses no matter how long ago are more intense.

I lost dad 30 years ago and mom 3 years ago. Still hurts like the Dickens at time.

Dad passed away in ‘05. Mom just turned 90 a couple of weeks ago. She is lost without him.

I'll do more than that. Being of German heritage (and I mean 200-proof Kraut blood), and growing up in mountains that still practice many Old World traditions handed down from it's German immigrant forefathers, I'm always on the lookout for new merchants selling goods from, or by-way-of das Vaterland. I've bookmarked her web site in my 'Recipes and Cuisine' folder, and I'll be placing an order.

Socks for Soldiers

I belong to the above group. This group knits Big Black Socks out of high quality wool for soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. We also knit Beanies (helmet liners) and leisure socks. We also send lots of goodies to soldiers (food, toiletries, DVDs, etc.) The organization is in application for a 501(c)(3) status. The woman who runs it was a finalist for the recent Microsoft "Make A Difference" award.

She can always use help with postage. Freepmail me if you want more info.
