Spent some time last month with a dear family friend who was a prisoner of war in Germany for 18 months during the war and blessedly he is celebrating his 90th birthday.Buttercuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804094230127512943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298281273012420976.post-87788886656754948882009-12-05T16:18:48.367-08:002009-12-05T16:18:48.367-08:00We need the reminders, thank you.

He was always so proud that he served his country. He never bragged, he never talked about that day much and he never regretted being there. He used to say that the real heros were the ones who lost their lives that day. <br />Thank you for your tribute to our soldiers. Thank God they serve so we can all be free.Sissie's Shabby Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142205878984008123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298281273012420976.post-3853465038161686252009-12-05T11:19:23.665-08:002009-12-05T11:19:23.665-08:00Marydon, this post is wonderful...the moment I saw...Marydon, this post is wonderful...the moment I saw what you were writing about, my heart was moved, and then to hear the music you have to accompany the photos is sooooo stirring. I love to watch old war movies..the courage that can be found in a man, or woman, fighting for such a great cause as freedom is incredible to behold. I love the Gaither's song Let Freedom Ring, on my sidebar, because they sing about freedom being the very foundation of life, beginning at birth...God intended for us to be free, and He offers the freedom to choose even life or death in eternity. It is God's purpose and plan for us to live freely...is it any wonder that we are outraged at the attemps to steal our freedoms by those that profess to care for us...a tremendous insult to both God and man.<br /><br />Let us continue to pray for God's plans to unfold, so we will soon see His face coming from the skies in glory, to show the world that HE IS LORD!<br /><br />God bless,<br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15369867469773842215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298281273012420976.post-81125320458439518412009-12-05T10:57:56.362-08:002009-12-05T10:57:56.362-08:00HI!!!

But Praise God we were victoriuos!!!!!!<br />Hugs,<br />jamieMimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070694544133528430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298281273012420976.post-9608021603030706712009-12-05T10:05:22.581-08:002009-12-05T10:05:22.581-08:00My dad fought in WWII!

He joined the U.S. Army Air Corp in the year of 1944 and served in the Southwestern Pacific as a bombardier on B-24 Liberators with the Jolly Rogers as part of the 5th Air Force in the 319th Bomb Squadron, 90th Bomb Group. He was a 1st Lieutenant. He told us his stories of this time in his life and of almost being shot down. Before he passed away in 2005, he relived these events. <br />I pray daily for the brave men and women that serve our country!<br />Thanks for the great post!Rae Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08076706609130903143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298281273012420976.post-62242427186424728082009-12-05T10:05:17.337-08:002009-12-05T10:05:17.337-08:00My father was at Pearl Harbor, in the army so he w...My father was at Pearl Harbor, in the army so he wasn't on the ships; but there was a lot of ground fighting in Hawaii during WWII. He survived and so ... here I am. He didn't talk much about the war and unfortunately we kids (there are six of us) were very much not interested while growing up and he's gone now so we'll never know much about his experiences in the war. I do know he was very slightly wounded by shrapnel but that appears to be his only wound.<br /><br />At one point we wanted to send him back to Pearl Harbor to visit (on the 50th anniversary of the attack) but he was clearly not interested in revisiting the past.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09268431774389675504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298281273012420976.post-55372841357223278342009-12-05T08:39:32.276-08:002009-12-05T08:39:32.276-08:00My great uncle was killed in WWII.

When they brought back help, his entire plane was gone and so was he. All that was left was the indentation and marks from his plane going down. My great grandmother had a church erected on that very spot to commemorate him. One of my hopes is to one day visit the church since no one from my family has ever been there. I only hope that God has a special place in heaven for those who have given their lives for their country.www.thewhitefarmhouse2.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12800942062977705101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298281273012420976.post-34093773039370072902009-12-05T08:29:38.187-08:002009-12-05T08:29:38.187-08:00Praying for our troops!

Jack had a dear friend (many years older than Jack) who he used to fly with by the name of Walt Staff, who survived the Pearl Harbor attack... he was aboard the USS Oklahoma and trapped in it under water for many days, he and the other few that survived tapped on the ship until they were eventually rescued...I too knew Walt, but but not as well as Jack did...what an inspiration... I have so much love and respect for him, and ALL of our Armed Forces... Walt passed away several years back...I too hope they all rest in peace... love to you...

I wish many more people (especially those in government positions) would remember that. I am having a giveaway over at my blog so be sure and stop by and enter.
