In memoriam to my own father who served honorably in the
United States Air Force for 22 years
and saw action in both Korea and Vietnam.
Rest in peace, Dad, and thank you for all that you did
for this country and for me.
I should have told you that more often when I had the chance.
this is a wonderful post Linda, I tip my hat to you and your father.
ReplyDeleteChilling, moving and full of love, honor and respect.
ReplyDeleteI must admit I was not surprised to see a grave stone, given the many posts you do of cemeteries, but I got goose bumps and tears in my eyes when I saw "Orlomoski" on the head stone. Thank you for your service, MSgt. Orlomoski.
big hugs xo
Beautiful post, Linda. I also got tears in my eyes when I saw this photo of your father's gravestone the other day.
ReplyDeleteI also thank your dad for his service.
Lovely tribute to your father Linda. x

Such a wonderful heartfelt tribute to your father and the other servicemen/women who sacrificed so much for us. Happy Memorial Day to you and yours, dear Linda. We don't celebrate Memorial Day here in Canada, instead we have Remembrance Day on November 11th every year:-) xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you to you and those of your family who served.
ReplyDeleteI second Bee's comment. He knows. Thank you for supporting your family member in service and for your service, as well. HUGS!
ReplyDeleteA fine, respectful post, Linda
