Remember
The Bag Lady's father and two of his brothers served in WWII. The Bag Lady has, in previous years, posted pictures of her father from his navy years, and has some of his things from that era. Recently, she was going through a little zippered pouch that belonged to her father and came across some photographs. One of them was a picture of one of her father's brothers in his army uniform.

Thanks for posting this, Bag Lady.
That is so cool! I love the totem pole behind them.
I love totem poles and Stanley Park, but I love honoring veterans even more.
Thank you, Bag Lady, and thank you to your dad and his brothers.
You, Reb and Leah have much reason to be proud. Thank you to your family. I'm watching the CBC ceremonies, listening to interviews with mothers of fallen soldiers. It's heartbreaking.
Leah - you're welcome!
Cheryl - thanks. This is a great picture, isn't it?
kcinnova - and thank you to your husband!!
Hilary - You have even more reason to be proud - your son is a wonderful example of our young people!
Great picture! I need to find one of my dad in uniform - he was in a MASH unit in Korea. He was the company clerk, and no they didn't call him Radar. :-)
Cool that you found that photo Sis. I have never seen it before.
That is a great picture...thanks for posting it.
I've been watching the local coverage of the Remembrance ceremony where J is at working the cameras...taking the time to remember today...
We all owe those brave men and women so much. Nice post Baggie.
That's a good picture; I feel at least slightly acquainted with him.

A most wonderful family photo.
May we never forget.
internet free day yesterday so Im late to this but we remembered and honored and celebrated around here as well.
Hats off to the folks that served so well! I'm raising a glass of sweet tea. My dad was a submariner in the Pacific during WWII, so aren't we really long lost sisters in service underneath it all?
