[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 928092, member: 16769"] Thank you, Ouachita! FIL was not in service -- probably because he was 30 at the time of WWII, was the only son in the family of a bunch of sisters, married w/2 children, and was a farmer. He pitched in with other neighbors, to help families of those who were serving, to help get their crops in, calve out there cows, and such. He was till mowing lawns for free for Sr. citizens when he was in his 70s. He and his wife delivered meals on wheels until just a few years ago, but he has never allowed that program to come to him. Mom died last year at near 99. He continues to live pretty much unassisted in his own small house, and still drives some. (He's worried he won't maybe get his license renewed in July! We're worried he'll get renewed. Always an exciting ride with Dad!) We are thankful daily that all the rest of the family is there and watchful. But, YEAH, I think this was a really, really good event/weekend for him! :banana: [/QUOTE]
