As I continue to research the lives of my ancestors I am sure I will find others who served or were willing to serve if called to do so.
I am grateful to each of them for a family legacy of service.

I admire the way you have an "honor roll" of photos here. A father who served in Vietnam, and then back through the generations in all the major wars. It is amazing to me how huge wars have been so central to this country's history, and continue to be. Maybe Afghanistan could be the last (I wish). But given the chronicle of our wars, you have preserved your ancestors' service records with great care. Thank you for letting us see them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mariann! I am so proud of the service that my ancestors gave!
ReplyDeleteHello Cheri Hudson Passey,
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful "honor roll" of photos, as Mariann has mentioned.
The story told by the pictures is poignant and thought provoking. Thanks for sharing!
Peace & Blessings,
"Guided by the Ancestors"
