Bill Whittle is a National Treasure. IMHO.

Dinner with family.

WW II vet in grocery store.  I gave him a WAA thank you.  He was part of the liberation of Dachau.  He asked me why I do this.  No one has ever asked that.  I told him that if not for people like him, my Dad, Russ Fairfield…all the vets…I might not be here.  That I understood  some of what the war did to my Dad.  That not enough people remember and think about it.

The day at work…went mercifully quickly.

“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.”  Gen. Patton

Rest in Peace CPO Chris Kyle.

Came to see me unexpectedly.  Looked at old photographs…and talked about…life.

I finally remembered to look today…

Wreaths Across America  reached their goal of a million Thanks.  I’m working on my second hundred thank you cards.    I gave out two today.     The second to veteran of the Korean war.  I thought about him when I found this video at American Digest…

Gratitude to the Professor…and Peter Jackson.

The sermon at Calvin’s Christening based on this song.  Lots of meanings on many levels.

Still thinking about the Happiness Hour yesterday…Someone to love, something to do and something to hope for.  Dennis adds…a purpose.
