Memorial Day

In honor of the brave U.S. men and women who died while in the military service.





The kids looking at the memorial in the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial in honor of the Army and Army Air Forces soldiers who died during WWII.

My father served in the Army Air Force during WWII so my kids developed an interest in the war. We toured several battlefields of the Battle of the Bulge during this trip to Europe.

My mother and her family lived in Rotterdam during the war and suffered tremendously (as did all the Dutch) at the hands of the Nazi's. After years of hardship and torment, Holland was finally liberated by the Canadian and U.S. troops in 1945.

Although having never served in the military I have a strong personal connection to the armed forces of the United States of America and much thanks to give.
