HIS BODY IS BURIED OVERSEAS, HIS SPIRIT, WE AS A FAMILY HONOR IT WIYH PRIDE. LET US MAKE PEACE IN OUR HEARTS, OUR FAMILIES, LOCAL COMMUNITIES, AND OUR WORLD. PEACE.
I honor your grandfather’s service, ultimate sacrifice and spirit today, Mary. May he rest in power and peace. Thank you for sharing his story and may his memory comfort you and yours.
We had a WASP in our congregation several years ago who, before her death at age 93,,shared similar stories amany times abbout the difficulties women faced to get acknowledgement for their service. She remained a spunky, determined person who was very proud of being of service to our country. I was thankful to know her.
Thank you so much for sharing this story with us Cameron.
Thank you for raising up this story and all the details about women who served this country and were unrecognized for so long. I value your clarity about this and so many other things. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Rev. Trimble for sharing this story! As members of the “greatest generation “ dwindle, may we keep their memory & sacrifice alive in the hearts of future generations!
