Yay, our boy ZAK is home from
the Navy for a visit. It's been
three years! Lovely to see him
and catch up! The men reminisced
a bit as Russ had been a Marine.
This got me to thinking, and you
may be in for a diatribe . . .
No, I hadn't really thought about it
per se, but our family is actually a
military one. Hell, my own grandsons,
Alfil is a Marine and Nico is Army. Our
nephew Jacob and his wife Kyla are
currently in the Army as well. Add in Ryan
and Shaun; me thinks Army is winning.
My first cousins Michael, Gene, Ray
and Mike served in the Army. Going
back even further, my father Chester,
his brother Mervin and bro-in-law Homer
served in WWII. Their younger brother
Stanley, served in Korea. My grandfathers
Samuel and Delton served in the Army in
WWI.
I do realize it's neither Memorial Day nor
Veteran's Day . . . not even 4th of July.
I'm going to blame ZAK for sparking this
line of thought. And, not sure I should
confess, but I was fined and suspended
for bra-burning in college; we gals had
Viet Nam issues. Still, I honor my family
who served!
