I dedicate this to all the beloved service people who gave of their time, effort and lives on this special day.
But, mostly, I dedicate this post to my beloved father, Kyle, who was a Chief in the United States Navy. He experienced being a captive of the Japanese in WWII, on the island of Sumatra, at the death camp of Makasser.
My father was on the ship, USS Pope, when it was torpedoed, and sunk in the ocean off the coast of Sumatra. He was a part of the crew, who was commanded by the renown Captain Antrim. He lived to write a book about his harrowing experiences, which will be published soon.
I am proud to say that I have ancestors who fought in the Civil War, The Spanish-American War, World War I, World II, and the Korean War. Friends of my family also died in the Vietnam War.
Although I wish we lived in a world where we could all live together in peace and harmony, it is sometimes necessary to fight to preserve our rights.
May we create a society that will be worthy of having sacrificed the lives of so many wonderful people. People who gave us freedom. Let us use it wisely. Blessings, ~V~
