Honoring My Veterans

My (Leah's) sweet grandparents were dating when Pearl Harbor was bombed in 1941. Granpy signed up for the Navy and went off to war. The only thing that kept Granpy and Granny in touch was letters. Granpy would write home coded messages about what he could share. Granny would write regularly and encourage him. In 1944 they got married on a short furlough, they were married 2 days before Granpy went back to war. Just as a side note, Granny still writes so many letters today. She always sends birthday cards to everybody on their birthday, Christmas, Granpy's birthday, and any occasion she feels like. Since Granpy died twenty plus years ago, she sends everybody a memorial letter about him each year.
I'm especially grateful for the Veteran's who fight for us, so that we don't have to fight. Freedom isn't free. Our military are paying the cost right now, our Veteran's have already paid the cost. Thank you service men and women.
