| Grandpa Joe - unmarked photo from New Guinea |
Today's entry topic was so easy--I assume every Veteran knows I am thankful for their service. Which is not a substitute for saying it out loud. (I've been talking a lot about "out loud" this month, haven't I?) I am grateful for the men and women who have fought and died so I can exercise the 1st Amendment--and all the other Amendments for that matter (remember 19 from a few days back?)
It is with a greater understanding now than I had even a few years ago that I reach for USAF Colonel Walter Hitchcock's famous American idiom: Freedom is not free.
A year ago today, I posted one of my favorite blog entries, Armistice Day 1942. I took some time today to upload a few other photos from my Grandfather's WWII service, as well as his discharge papers. Because I love his thumbprint. I hope you find them amusing, I know the photo from the swimming hole sure made me laugh.

| Remember last year when I speculated on his use of "native?" I must have been correct! |

| Bet you anything they just wore the suits for the photo... Heh, heh. |

| Thumbprint. LOVE. |
HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY!
