Thank a Vet

Happy Memorial Day! Every year we always go to West Bend, IA to the Memorial Day services in honor of my Grandpa Wasko and other vets. Last summer, whenever I was at the WWII memorial I would always find a veteran and talk to him. To see the emotion from the men is indescribable. I would also thank them for their service. It is the best feeling in the world to see them smile back at you.
When I was in Arizona at the beginning of the month visiting my great Uncle Dennis, we pulled out his WWII book. The memories began flooding his mind and his mouth couldn't speak fast enough. These men will only be here for so long, it is important that we hear their stories.
