In honor of his memory and helping to keep us free.
I am honoring my father, who served with the U.S. Marines during WWII.
To my hero, I am thankful every day for my freedoms because of your sacrifices. You still battle emotional scars, but always know I will be forever by your side to help ease the pain and to tell you I love you.
During WWI, my Grandmother served bravely on the front in France, as a Nurse in a MASH unit. In the operating room she met her future husband, Dr. Harold Grant Tobey, my Grandfather. Later, their son, Harold Grant Tobey, Jr. served and died as a result of WWII.
Thank you all.
To honor you for making the world a better, safer place, near and far. I'm proud of you!
