Happy Veteran's Day

Thanks, Trek!

De nada

Both of my grandfathers served in WWI.

My parents both worked in Kaiser shipyards building Libery ships in WWII. Dad was 4F though he tried to sign up. By the time they were drumming up 4F men so others could go to the front Kaiser said "oh no you don't. He's doing you more good here than pushing paperwork".

Together they helped increase efficiency at the shipyards, they were sent to other shipyards to show their methods. We're very proud of what they did to help win the war.

Mom recalls having read post cards from relatives in the camps who were allowed by the red cross to send a few heavily censored notes. she would have been aware of the urgency. This was a war we had to win

There's now a small peace scholarship in my Dad's name. They are both long time peace activists and hate war but our family LOVES our troops and all who serve.
