Military











I have been thinking about all our military families and the sacrifice they make for our country, and hope we are all remembering them in our prayers, and whatever else we can do for them in gratitude.








I am so proud of my own family for our service to our country, not only the ones who have served in active duty, but the family members who have stayed behind and supported them. Beginning with my own generation, my husband Harold served in the Army in Korea, August 1955 to May 1957. Also Army vets were his brothers George and Bill, our son David, our Granddaughter, Jessica.


Serving in the Navy, my brother-in-law Jim (Betty's husband), my son-in-law Randy, and my grandson Jack.


Harold's other brother Bob, had to be different and go into the Air Force.


I have many cousins and nephews who have also served in the military, including my cousin Jerry who is a Viet Nam vet.


I thank God for each one of them and for all those who are on the front lines now.
Blessings and hugs,
Grandma in the yellow house
