I want to write more about my Grandpa but just thinking about what I want to write is making me teary eyed. I miss him so much. He always gave my hubby a hard time by telling him he was in the wrong branch. I remember calling my Grandpa one Veterans day and telling him "Happy Veterans Day Grandpa!" He said "Thank you." My hubby read me the riot act after I got off the phone. I made sure I never said that to him again. At least my Grandpa knew what I meant behind my greeting, that I was proud of him and thankful for his service. I am still proud of him.My 2 Uncles served, one in Vietnam in the Army, the other in the Navy. I am thankful for their service to our country. It is the home of the free because of the brave. I feel honored to known them, and that I call them family.

Your grandpa was a handsome fella!
Great post!
Wonderful and sad memories. It is sad while remembering these people who have given so much to us.
Your Grandpa was so handsome. I love the pose. Today they make you stand so rigid, no smiles. I can see him dancing at the USO's.
:-)
Thanks for sharing with us. It is people like your grandfather who make this country worth existing. God Bless!
What beautiful memories of your grandpa in this post and the one above.
I've been thinking a lot about Danny's grandpa lately. I knew him better than either of my grandpas. They were older than Danny's grandpa and died before I really got a chance to know them as well, plus I lived far from them most of my life. I loved Danny's grandpa like my own. He died Nov. 10, 2003. I've always wished I had told him how much he meant to me.
He was a good looking fella. What a lovely tribute.
