Happy Veterans Day!

Uncle Tom, Grandma, and Grandpa
Today the youth in my ward put together a dinner for all of the veterans in the ward. Grandpa got to come because of course he fought in world war two. Here are a few fun facts about my grandpa in his war years.
  • He was in the Air Force for 2 years 2 months and 28 day
  • He ate three square meals a day
  • He fought in 16 combat missions.
  • He flew in a B-17
  • Something he missed about being away from home was not being able to go home.
  • He said that if he could give any advice to the this generation it would be...

" This is the greatest place ever! We need to be ready to do what ever to defend her!"

Happy Veterans Day!
