Veterans Day Observed

Today was Veterans Day Observed since Veterans Day is on a Saturday this year. Traffic was very light this morning. It is always lighter on Fridays, but it was even more so today.

Tonight I will share pictures of some family members in uniform in honor of Veterans Day tomorrow. Each of these family members are remembered each year.

Great Uncle, Army, Army Nurse, MemoriesHere is my Great-Uncle Fred in his uniform. He was an army nurse for many years in several different places around the world. He also served many years in the Bay Area.

I knew all of the men above, however they are no longer with us except in our memories. Today is a special day to remember each of them.

I have many more relatives that have served during the generation, but these are the one whom I remember the most each year.
