My dad spent time during WWII in the South Pacific. Wonderful way to spend Memorial Day!<br /><br />Glad to see your surgery went well. We have not had internet for a few days (we've been in Nashville) so I am just now getting caught up. Hope you continue to heal and improve!Happytrailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604892750805362197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316350785635987648.post-64581817238596114692011-05-31T22:34:39.805-05:002011-05-31T22:34:39.805-05:00a great way to spend your Memorial Day..hearing al...a great way to spend your Memorial Day..hearing all those old stories from Uncle Jr.!..take care of your foot!..nice blue shoe!Sue and Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436889944386917688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316350785635987648.post-23972881731758361832011-05-31T21:01:46.797-05:002011-05-31T21:01:46.797-05:00Spending time with your Uncle and listening to his...Spending time with your Uncle and listening to his stories about his war experiences is probably the best way to spend a Memorial Day.<br /><br />I laughed when you said he told you a story you had never heard before because my Dad was the same way before he passed away in 2003. It was only in the last 10 years of his life that he ever spoke of the war and his experiences on D-Day and as a prisoner of war in Germany. I keep thinking he probably had dozens of great stories that we never got to hear.

As Uncle Jr will tell you life on <br />those carriers was a keep your eyes open never a dull moment.Be safe out there.
