“Memorial Day” – remembers Family Vets…
When there was a WAR .. 1940s – America did call several members in the same FAMILY – – – and this is Al E. Aldrich from Saint Louis, Missouri – – lived in Birmingham, Alabama – – and later moved wife, Thelma and son to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Al and his wife, Thelma operated the “Dobbs House” Snack Bar in Birmingham, Alabama and were doing a very job – – so much so that there was the possibility of opening up of the “Snack Bar” market in Florida. Al communicated with his brother Lee, my husband – that – the “Dobbs” people were looking for someone to open and run a new place in the southern part of Florida. This was just a terrific opportunity for my husband – – since he had been shot and was thinking of taking an early retirement from the Saint Louis Police Department – so we took a “pre-view” trip to Florida and everything sure did look “real” good to us!
Sometimes… we miss the boat – when we fail to communicate with our Family – – -opportunities are sometimes missed and also the relationship of brothers and their Families – – – so that is NOW – why I have to Thank the Almighty Yahweh – that there was good – very good feelings between Al ‘s Family and my husband Lee and all of us – all together and forever!
Thank you – Almighty Yahweh – you knew that Lee, my husband did not have many years left here – after having been shot – – but you worked special behind the scene activities – so that Lee could have some very good years in Florida – – with his brother Al and all of us. Thank you – – – for the best “Army Veteran and brother-in-law, Al – for giving so much thought to the special needs of his brother Lee and FAMILY!

Veteran – No. Africa – Desert War

Still remembering “Veterans” in our “FAMILY” – This photo of Al E. Aldrich – who spent time in the “African Conflict” – time frame – 1941-1943
Seems that – just as our young children – reach the ages of 20-25 – a new “WAR” is boiling “HOT” – and calling for the lives of our young people! Check it out – we no sooner think – that this is the “WAR” to end all “WARS” when the “GREEN EYE MONSTER” is going to take from our families – their “FIRST” born – again and again!
“Al ” is one of seven (7) brothers – all had to do their part in the “SERVICE” – except one – that would be my husband “Lee” – who was already on the “POLICE FORCE” in Saint Louis. I guess that the world would have to be coming to an end – before taking the “POLICE” Officers – from where they were serving – unless someone wanted complete “CHAOS.”
Someone – who ever is running the show – wants all Law and Order – to be thrown out – why else throw out the “TEN COMMANDMENTS” – from the schools? With no rules and regulations – anyone can do as they feel – and that is why we are always at war with everyone – including our own neighbors?
We do need to start repenting and praying for better leadership – and I feel the one book that should be put in each child’s hand is the Bible – time to learn that – Laws broken – have tough consequences!
