Love the picture and the words unspoken. Days like Monday always make me sad when I consider the sacrifice. At Daddy's funeral the minister used the theme of sacrifice when he talked about three Sundays...Pearl Harbor when the call to sacrifice was made manifest, September 9 when the surrender with Japan was signed in Daddy's presence on the Mighty Mo, and the Sunday of the funeral. I doubt I will ever know the courage it took for young men and women to sacrifice the known for the unknown the way Daddy did. It colored his life and became the thing he talked about most in his last days. Strange since he never willingly discussed any of it before. Thank you for sharing the reminders of Memorial Day. SH
