Must Include “OLDER” Veterans!

Dad Service Photo 001

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!
