Happy Memorial Day!

For Memorial Day, I wanted to share something very, very special with you. This is the flag from my Grampa's (my Mommie's Dad) military funeral. He died in 2001 before I was borned, so I never got to meet him. I am sad about that. But I am very proud of the service he provided to our country. My Grampa was a Master Paratrooper. Then he went to Officer Candidate School, and then to flight school. After he got his wings, he went to Vietnam and flew Caribou transport planes. He was very brave and got many medals. My Grampa served almost 15 years in the Army, and after he resigned his commission, he became a commercial airline pilot for Western Airlines, and then for Delta Airlines until he retired. I wish I could have met my Grampa.
I hope you all have a very wonderful Memorial Day!
