The weather is still unseasonably cool and overcast, but no pouring rain to dampen our spirits!
We head out to Hamm cemetery this morning, to see the memorial upon which Marty's uncle's name is engraved, and the 5,000 + American graves of the soldiers who lost their lives on this continent fighting for our freedom.
Ernest has a full day planned for us. I'm hoping Marty recovers from his jet lag. Last week he was in Taiwan, this week in Europe, and his body clock is in limbo, I think!
I too hope Marty feels up to speed soon. I always think of the two of you as so young. Maybe time catches up to all of us eventually.
ReplyDeleteWhat an overwhelming number, 5,000 + of our young men gone - as an old song said, "gone to flowers, everyone... when will they every learn, when will they ever learn" - I'm thinking probably never. How many mothers, fathers, siblings, and extended family members must hold them in their hearts forever? Thank you for caring.
