Update Time!

Hello again everyone! How ya'll doing? It's time for another update!
I'd like to be serious for a moment and take the time to honor my uncle. Uncle Ish recently passed away. He had alzheimers really bad and was getting up in years. I never knew, but he was a WWII NAVY veteran. He never talked about himself much, so it was a real surprise to learn this. He was layed to rest at a simple grave yard surrounded by a beautiful forest and lush fields.
He was given a 21 gun salute, taps was played, and his service to his country was recognised with some words from fellow soilders. After the event, I received three of the empty brass casings from the salute. I have them displayed proudly in my room.
Love ya Uncle Ish, and thanks for your service. I wish we could have talked more.
Have fun in the next life! I'm sure you're meeting up with a bunch of old friends and sharing stories about "big fish" or white tailed bucks that got away. And I bet you and Grandpa are sharing all sorts of stories and jokes again, just like old times.
You were a simple country man with a heart of gold and not a vain bone in your body. Enjoy your retirement, you've earned it. :)

I also had a family member, my grandad, that also fought in WWII as well; I still think about him, my grandmother and many others that left their marks before they've passed on, as they themselves are keeping a close eye on our family from above to this day.
Take care and I wish you well, always. -Salute-
