Memorial Day in America is set aside to honor those that gave their lives and those that served and protected our American Freedoms. In our family my Father, and his 3 brothers, and Nancy's Uncles all served with honor. My father was killed in WW2 just a few months before our victory. My Stepfather also served in the Army and married my Mother and raised two kids plus his own two. My Stepfather Chet was a man with a 6th grade education but was a great auto and truck mechanic and made enough to care for us all. As a 10 year veteran of the U S Navy I want to thank all of those who have served.
In our family we celebrate Memorial Day by being together and enjoying the life we have. I hope you enjoy the pictures of our celebration and remembrance of our servicemen.
Our Son KR and his Wife Sandy hosted this years celebration.
