Memorial Day weekend is a good time to remember my Dad

2010 trip to Washington DC

Flag over Washington DC - May 2010It was 16 years ago that my brother Ron and I went along as volunteers on an “Honor trip” to Washington DC with my Dad and veterans from Shelby County Ohio. It was a humbling trip to be with these older men who served our country, be it in World War II, Korea (DadC) or Vietnam (our group’s planner – also check out my Google Photos).

I can honestly say, it is a trip that I’ll never forget and never regret taking with my dad. Humbling to realize what bravery these men had and the sacrifice so many of them that didn’t return made serving our nation. Thanks to them, we live free. Make “particularly” those that gave their lives the focus of Memorial Day.
