Must Include “OLDER” Veterans!
When you are giving “HONOR” to our “VETERANS” – one must never forget those who served in the “PHILIPPINE ARMY” and with one our best Generals!
The above picture of Denny “MAC” McClarren – my father – was serving in the Philippines – under Gen. Douglas MacArthur – during the 1930’s While my Father was on a motorcycle – taking messages around – his motorcycle was blown up – the damage to my Father’s back – put him in a “body cast” for over six (6) months. A back injury is one of the worst – – – it just seems to be killing you – with your every move – and now that I’m thinking about it – the “PAIN” never really leaves – just the slightest of moves – the wrong way – and you think you are losing your mind!
The above photo – was in one of my Father’s wallets – and after he had died – I went through a lot of my Father’s things – and this “PHOTO” was one photo – that I had never seen? I only wish he would have said something about having the photo refinished and restored – so that it would not now be in such a fragile condition? I guess that when we stop using old wallets and old purses – whatever cards and picture are in there stay – forever?
Lets not let our senior “VETERANS” be forgotten – let us remember to check on them and gather more of their stories – of all the things that they did and ask – what should be written up – for the next generations – so that they will receive “HONOR ” and Remembrance” – forever! Almighty Yahweh bless all those that take the time to serve their “COUNTRY” – those that honor the call to help keep the “FREEDOMS” and “PROSPERITY” for all citizens – first and foremost!
