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.

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…

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