buellmeister Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Bear, What an incredible grouping linking the experiences and heroism exhibited by your relatives. Thank you for posting them. Regards,Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 Thanks JoelI lost both my grandmothers and my grandfather this year so we've been sorting through all the stuff. I don't know that much about these guys so its all sorta new to me. I heard some stories about them when I was little but that went through one ear and out the other. Its funny that when I ask someone about them they always say you don't remember them. I was three years old when they were around.I'll be glad when this year is over........ thanks,barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
