It was very moving. My Dad was in the army just after World War II ended but he was sent to Germany. He was considered a World War II vet but I think he always felt conflicted over that. You see, his brothers were both in the war and one of them was in Patton's army and saw a great deal of combat. May we always remember those who were in service to our country.<br />xKay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-38699309436835243462019-07-05T18:00:13.561-04:002019-07-05T18:00:13.561-04:00I think so, it sounds great to me.

I never realised until Riverdance came along it was a form of Irish dancing he was doing. A very versatile actor.

When my daughter took AP American History in prep school, she learned dates and names to prepare for the AP exam. I made sure I told her--and my son--stories from history so they would know more than dates. I've never seen or heard anything more beautiful than taps being played at my father's funeral while the soldiers made their precise movements to fold the flag and present it to my mother. My father was an Army Air Corps pilot during WWII, before the Air Force existed.
