Memorial Day;----Thank You USA

My War; World war 2. A Kid 17 years old went in the Navy late in the
War. 1944. Came out age 20. Lost friends. A lot of good friends but I
was Lucky.

My Country didn't forget us. It didn't forget me.

I went to College on the G.I. Bill, which I would never have been able
to do on my own,

Got a Job with Atlantic Refining Company, in Philadelphia because of my
College Degree.

Met and married a Philly Girl and brought a Levittown House with a GI
Mortgage. Raised two Kids with the woman I loved.

I've had a great life because Uncle Sam Remembered ME,

Memorial Day is a day That I remember what MY COUNTRY has done for ME.

I remember what the US did for the World with the Truman Doctrine &
Marshall Plan. When I pay my Taxes I remember it as a commitment to
those Buddies that never had the chance to rebuild the Free World
infrastructure.

I'm just about 80 now but I ;----REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR & I observer
MEMORIAL Day.

Thanks Guys and Thanks Uncle Sam
