SO MANY LOST BUT NONE FORGOTTEN REST IN PIECE
On Tuesday, September 30, 2014Betty Albright
Sadly another son, husband, uncle, brother, friend lost in the war, leaving others behind to mourn his great loss at such a young age. I am thankful for him, for the allied forces who fought, protected, liberated so that we all here and now could have the freedoms that we have.
