“Remembering the MEN in SERVICE from Our FAMILY”
CIVIL WAR AND RECONSTRUCTION 1850-1899 – –
There is always a beginning period – – this is ours’s!
Thomas F. Brady – – Photo on left – -came from Ireland and got involved in the above WAR and ever since someone in our FAMILY had to join – – to keep AMERICA Safe and FREE!
The Photo on the right… is my brother, Denny H. McClarren, Jr. and he is on leave at Christmas time – – and he has that “MILLION DOLLAR SMILE” in my book – – and that is me with a small piece of ham – – had to have an early taste!
** On the left below is my younger brother, Thomas F. McClarren – – named in remembrance of “Grandpa Thomas Brady”… top left PHOTO…
and our “TOM” is one of those men – – that train just to be able to fall out of a perfectly good Air Plane – – as many good men did need to do that… when sent overseas – – for the WAR effort!
On the right below is our DAD “to be” way before he ever met our Mother, “o be” … when he first signed up for service in maybe 1929 and was serving later in the Philippines – Denny H. McClarren, Sr.

This PHOTO to the left is Albert E. Aldrich, my husband’s brother – – and he introduced my husband Lee to the RESTAURANT business – – when my husband retired after being shot while being on the POLICE Force in Missouri.
This PHOTO on the right is also of my Dad while in the PHILIPPINES – – having been injured – – and had this body cast on for six months. That is his stomach coming out of the cast – -one does have to eat – – and make room for more good eats!
This is Thomas H. Aldrich and his “WAR DOG SHANE” – – and he was stationed in Korea – – and did very well there with the DOG training – – as he had dogs before going into Service and until the day he left this EARTH!

DENNY Sr. on the left and DENNY Jr. on the right – – maybe thirty years difference in time frame of being enlisted in the SERVICE.

Lee G. Aldrich, Sr. on the left… and Lee G. Aldrich, Jr. on the right – – everyone serves their Country, AMERICA in different ways – and for AMERICA to stay strong and FREE for All – – All must do their part to pass on the FREEDOM we all enjoy – – in the best way they know to do that and be proud to do their part while believing in our great CREATOR of all and our only true PROTECTOR of all of us … is our – the Almighty Yahweh! D.V.
