Veteran's day is a memorial day for me. A time for me to remember with love my grandfather - my Papa. He was my hero ever since I was a little girl. He served our country faithfully in the US Army - fighting in Vietnam and Korea. His army career moved his family to Alaska, Virginia and Indonesia.
And in the years before cancer took his life, he wore his veteran's hat with pride.
We would go to restaurants and people would salute him and he'd break out in a big smile. My heart would pound with pride.
My hero!
He died 2 years ago of cancer. I miss him terribly, but I will always remember him as my hero!
Who in your life is your hero? Do you know someone that was or is in the army?
