Rather Profound

Post by 6pt-sika »

It’s rather profound that I was looking for something Memorial Day weekend and I find my grandfathers WWII medal ! Think he let me have that when I was five or six years old so I’ve had it fifty plus years .

It's amazing how things just show up. My eldest cousin passed away a couple of years ago and when my sister was cleaning out his place she found his military records and decorations. We knew he had been in China

And a plank holder on the original USS Henderson.
