Veteran’s Day 2010
ByVeteran’s Day. A day off — for some. For our military, they are hard at work, defending our country, as they have for more than 200 years. Here in Stevensville, Montana, the American Legion Post 94 and the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 94 will be hosting a community dinner — for any who would like to attend. Doors open at 5:30 and the program and dinner begin at 6:30 pm. Location: the American Legion Hall on Middle Burnt Fork outside of Stevensville. . . .
. . . When I was growing up, my Daddy never shared much about his experiences in the war – and he was in two of them - WWII and Korea. In his latter years, he has shared some, but I am sure he has not shared most of the horror and terror he experienced while at war. His grandson attempted to extract some of his stories but, in the end, most were too painful, or memories forgotten. On Veteran’s Day, 2010, at 84, he is speaking at Lone Rock School, where he will be honored for his service.
Let us remember our military this Veteran’s Day. Those serving, those who have served, those we have lost. Let’s not forget them. Thanks Daddy.
