We must never forget those that serve and sacrifice to protect us and our way of life.
This picture reminded me of the poet Robert Laurence Binyon.
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
My uncle. WWII veteran. PFC, Company A, 114th Infantry, 44th Division.
These are the only pictures I have related to his service. Sorry for the poor quality.
He volunteered, but was rejected because of poor eyesight. My mom said he kept trying, started drinking carrot juice, and finally got accepted in 1944. Lost his arm in France. He is 94, living in Florida with his daughter. He would tell you he is not a hero.
