Great post! I swear I got chill bumps. We are very blessed to live in this country, and will forever be in debt to the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice so we can be free. Wow!

There is so much history I've not seen - thanks for sharing this experience.

I too come from a very patriotic family for example my great great great grandfather fought with the union cavalry at Gettsyburg and survived. To visit the places were a lot have given the ultimate sacrifice or survived to be able to come home just gives you goose bumps. They should never be forgotten.

Seeing the visual representation of just some of the men and women who have died so we could be free really drives home the sacrifice that war and freedom require.

I will never forget reverence of the soldiers guarding the tomb or the rows of white crosses representing all those that died for our freedoms. Great post, and thanks for sharing about such a tough time in your life.

Nice post and perfect for Arthur's site. I’ve never been but I can imagine how touching a place like that would be.

It sounds like you had a very hard time at 13, becoming an adult probably before your time. But you must have turned out to be a very wonderful parent and friend. Thanks for your story.
