It's Memorial Day in the US and as it's a day to honor and celebrate soldiers that have died, I want to write about my grandfather. He fought in World War II with the RAF in Canada. He was actually from the US but apparently he wasn't able to get into the US Air Force for reasons I can't remember. Anyway, He survived being shot down twice over the Atlantic and went on to run a successful insurance agency and help raise 8 children. He died an old man and I'm glad that I was able to know him. He never spoke of the war but he always seemed very brave to me and that is what I'll always remember about him. I send best wishes to all veterans and am thinking of those that are gone.
I wish you all the very best.
