A Day to Remember and Honor

Going through old photos, and finding the veterans from 1800s through modern times reminds me how history is not kind. Ancestry shows so much.  

The veterans shown here range from Civil War to Korea.  There is a great-grandfather who rode with the Rough Riders; I couldn't locate his photo.                         

This is the photo taken of my grandfather before he left for France. He fought in the trenches

Lest we forget...
