From Belgium, my father at his brothers grave, killed over Germany piloting a bomber. His crew made it out, he did not. Some did not make it home, my grandmother never got over that.
This is but a few graves from that war, but it looks a never ending field.

Thanks for sharing that very poignant photo. My family was very lucky. My Uncle (Army), my Father-in-law (Army) and my Dad (Navy) all survived WWII and gave us the lives we now enjoy. A very special thanks goes to the many who never made it back.

My special thank-you goes to my close high school friend, Andrew James Payne, Jr., PFC-E2, USMC, KIA on April 19, 1968, Quang Tri, RVN.
