Good morning to you, Beth.

Salute to the USS Tarawa.

Sniff' Todays thread is special to me. My Grandfather fought in the battle of Tarawa. He was a beautiful man. I loved him so much. He was a huge part of my life growing up and I will miss his gentle voice and tender support for the rest of my life. He is one of the main reasons I come to the canteen to show my support to the troops. I truly believe that the men fighting for us must be angels sent from above to keep us in Gods hands and free from danger. God Bless all of you and thank you for making great men like my Papa. I love you all and you are in my prayers each and everyday.
