A Month of Thankfulness - November 11

A copy from my FB post on Nov. 11:

Veterans Day. I am so thankful for my husband’s service. Thank you to the committee in Pulaski County for recognizing him with a Quilt of Valor in 2019. I am thankful for the service of my grandfather Darl Henderson; my uncles Robert Henderson, Vernon Henderson, Dean Ritchie, and William Bloom; and Gary’s uncle Gerald Weltzin. My father Norman Henderson served on the DE Eldridge in World War II. He was very proud of his country, always stood for the flag, added a flagpole to the yard of each house so he could fly the flag proudly, and taught us the value of our freedoms. Today I honor these men in my life. Thank you.

 

 

 

Megan's FB post from Nov. 11:

 It's Veterans Day, and I always talk about my grandpa, the WWII veteran, but today, I also want to talk about my dad. When we were growing up, he never referred to himself as a veteran, and as a kid, I didn't think too much about it. Now, though, I think my sister and I and our mom wish we would've insisted that he be recognized more for his time in the National Guard. He did good work protecting and helping people during his service, and we are all so proud that he's ours. Happy Veterans Day,

Gary

! Love you!
