Larry, what a great letter. Thanks for becoming a member, so we can learn more about your dear father and the great 49th Engineers. Yes, it is a shame that so often holiday like Memorial Day and Veterans Day turn into "shopaholic" days. But thank God there are so many people out there who haven't forgotten the REAL reason for the holiday. It's great to see places like Applebees and others, who give discounts to the vets that day and honor them.
We had three new members join on this Veterans Day and that sure makes me very happy.
Again sorry for your loss, but we shall make sure he lives on here. Here's to your dad!
Thank you, Marion. And thank you for your devotion to this site.
