WW2 veterans - They are leaving us.
« on: November 11, 2013, 03:51:27 pm »
I'm taking this Veterans Day as an excuse to brag on my Dad who passed on last Friday. This is the plane he flew and his crew, as far as I know he was the last surviving. My dad was the officer on the far right.

None better earthly father could I ask for.

We sould remain thankful for all those that defend our country even if we do not agree with the action of our government.

Soldiers don't get the pick the wars they fight, I am sure that many of our World War II veterans never understood the reasons for them being ordered into action.

It is the same with us that have been called to fight in the spiritual battle but now rages across the world. Sometimes we feel that we should just walk away but that is not when we have been ordered to do.
