My Hero...

"I dream of giving birth to a child who will ask,
'Mother, what was war?'"
--Eve Merriam--


May we never forget those men and women who
have sacrificed to help us create such a world.

My father was such a man.
This is my hero.
He served in the Air Force during WWII.
My dad served in the 418th bomb squadron
and was stationed in London.

I wish he had talked to me about the war.

I wish I had asked.

I wish he was still here to talk to me.


I am thrilled to have one V-Mail
which my dad sent home to his parents.

Do you know about V-mails?
If not click HERE.

Daddy must have done a good job
on this letter because he didn't get censored!

My Daddy's entire family served in the military.

His father served in WWI.

His older brother fought in WWII and was a prisoner of war.
When he returned home, he weighed 80 pounds.

His younger brother served in the Korean War.

His youngest brother served in the Vietnam War.

My hero came from a long line of heroes.

Thanks, Daddy.

Thanks to all military who help preserve our peace.
