This was a week to pay tribute and memory to those that gave everything for this country. It has also turned into a much bigger memory of all that passed before. We practiced our part that has become a bit of a ritual to ensure that those before were given some small token of our remembering them all. I am fortunate that I have not close relatives that did not come back on my side but on the other side we have two that made the ultimate sacrifice, both hero’s, but in opposite ends of WWII. One resting in a European grave and the other lost then found and returned to Arlington. We were fortunate enough to be there for a return dedication and burial.
