Today is a day to remember every fallen soldier, both male and female, across the many battles and wars which has invloved this Great Nation I proudly call home.
I am thanking those whom fought for America's Independence, fought against the evils of slavery, fought in WWI & WWII and all the battles America has been involved.
To my daddy whom was a veteran. To Tom whom is. To all the service men and women past and present and future. I am forever grateful. I THANK YOU ALL for my peace, my liberties, and my freedoms. I THANK YOU ALL for safety to raise my family in my small corner of this great nation I live in. With blessings to all soldiers & vets.

I am attaching some images encompasing the scope of America's past.
Found some pictures of the Civil War era in Richmond, VA. Some of Normandy Beach in France. A few from the Korean War offical website ((to whom my father-in-law survived as a child to be adopted & become an American)) as well as Desert Storm and VietNam Wall.
Lastly to the Tomb of the {Thousands of } Unknown Soldier{s}.

The 5th picture if my father-in-law, Peter David Orr. The picutre was taken Feb 1965 as he re-met the man he met in Korea as a child. The gentleman whom helped save my father-in-laws life. Peter was adopted in 1957 by the Orr family in Eurgene, Oregon.
