I started today..

Like each Memorial Day. I went to a shelf in the family room and looked at the folded flag,the dog tags,the photos of monuments at Arlinton with my families name on them,the letter from FDR. I reread the old newspaper clipping titled , " war takes heavy toll on Hilton family". It explained how my fathers 2 uncles and one brother were killed in the same week,and he who was also serving in WWII was then sent home.

I thought of my uncle who served in both world wars and survived being on TWO ships that were sunk,only to be killed during a street robbery in San Diego.

To all those who died in the service of this country today I think of and thank all of them, and I share the grief of their families.
