Not sure what to say?

Dad, thank you for serving our country in World War II and the Korean Conflict so we could be free to live the American dream. Everytime I see an American Flag it reminds me of you. I see one almost everyday and I truly understand what it represents an have a greater appreciation. You'll always have a special place in my heart, your daughter "Monnie". Happy Veteran's Day!

I remember Mr.Bonnie from coming over to our house all the time. He was very good friends with my Aunt and Uncle( Catherine and Nelson Caldwell). They were all members of the American Legion, and they would get sharp and go out and have a good time. On behalf of our family, you all have our deepest sympathy. Now they are all together, really having a good time.
