"Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (May 25 in 2009). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the Civil War), it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action. Remember freedom is not free, someone paid for it with their lives. If you can read this, Thank a Teacher. Since you have the freedom to read this, Thank a Veteran."
This picture was taken of Hubby and me with my grandpa in June, 2003 at my grandpa's WWII 250th Field Artillery BN reunion.




One died for your soul, the other for your freedom."
I especially like that quote you ended with....very nice. Those old photos are wonderful. I can't imagine running into a relative while serving overseas. I'm sure it was an encouragement to each of them, being so far from home. Tell your hubby thank you, too! :)
