[Troop139] Veterans' Day

[J.Gordon Beattie, Jr., W2TTT]

Hi Folks!
My Dad, son John, and maternal grandfather  have served in the United States
Navy and my maternal grandmother and her two sisters and three brothers and
my paternal grandfather all served in the United States Army.  I thank them
and all veterans for their service, especially those who were from immigrant
generations, because they sacrificed, sometimes until death, for our country
and its freedoms for which they had often sacrificed so much to achieve even
as civilians.  

 

Take a look at the video below, because the homecomings, even though they
are  tear-jerkers, are so full of joy and love for life.
