A Veteran Speaks…

My son’s thoughts, as he was listening to  Taps,  on  the  radio, this Memorial Day.   Lee,  remembers  when  as a young Boy Scout, in his  Scout uniform,  that he and his Troop   went to Jefferson Barracks St.Louis, MO., to put American Flags, on the grave  of each Fallen Solider.

The above being done,and not knowing  “THEN” what,  the future  would hold,  that in just a few short years, he would be wearing a Navy Uniform,  aboard the, CV61 USS Ranger – The Flag Ship of the Admiral of the 7th Fleet.

Lee said,” Brings me to earlier this week, getting out  our  American Flag, to run up the pole for, Memorial Day, because,  I know I am a Proud American, and I Love My Country”.
