Seen yesterday and today 💙🤍❤️ after playing a lovely Mass at St Paul w our GRACE NOTE trio.
▶️ #1) Beautiful work by parish members for today's SH parade honoring Veterans.
▶️ #2) My Veteran Dad's fav sticker (had it made, gave it to everyone!) His brother was a POW, who we were blessed to have back at the end of WWII.
▶️ #3) Some of our two favorite service guys, (grandsons of Marti and Jim Conlin),
our son USAF Captain Ben Conlin, and son Peter, SH Fire Service and Rescue. Photo snap of the bros at recent USAF Officer Pilot Training Graduation (aircraft, jet, helicopter). Ben and his wife Em will serve at a missile base in the midwest.
We have a wide tradition of service members in our family, respect for all military members and first responders. We thank those who give, and gave their time, lives, and sometimes their inner peace to protect, and to rescue liberty from tyranny.
Want to also to mention the women of our family who worked during the second world war efforts with soldiers and aircraft ~ as office staff, riveters, and accountants in Central PA. We appreciate and remember you, Aunt Sue and Aunt Anne!
