Thank you so very much for this inspiring story. It will be treasured along with the poem 'In Flanders Fields' by everyone connected with defending freedom and our way of life!

Our local VFW promotes veterans and their families through the sale of, what else? -Red Crepe Poppies! Thank you again for this special article! Blessings to you!
