I lost my Dad earlier this year. So, the upcoming Veteran's Day will be a tender experience for me. My Dad also served in Europe during WWII. He was in the Battle of the Bulge, and served in his unit as a tank driver and mechanic. About 20 years ago, a young man in Belgium contacted my Dad (after a few years of searching to find him) to let him know he had found Dad's dog tags. This young man wanted to thank Dad for his service and sacrifice (Dad was wounded in Belgium). They established a correspondence that went on for a few years. My father was a shy man, and didn't make friends quickly or easily, so this long distance friendship with a young man he never met in person was unique. I will look at the few remaining WWII veterans who will be honored this Veteran's day, and remember my Dad, and the others who served with him in that war, as well as those who served in Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf, Afghanistan, Iraq, and other areas where our troops have been and are in harm's way - and be grateful for their amazing service and sacrifice. Thanks, again, Liz, for the opportunity to stop and remember and give thanks. Liz, thanks for the opportunity to share this memory. I lost my Dad earlier this year.
