Susan, It's really nice that you remember your uncle on this Remembrance Day.

Today, I remembered my Dad...Well, I thought of him this day, very sad that I don't know what exact war he was in because well I didn't know him or much about him...He gave me life, I am thankful for that and the fact he did serve our country.

The only thing I ever received from him was his flag at his funeral, I am his youngest child. And I proudly have his Flag on a shelf in my bedroom, will cherish it for as long as I live.

Anyway, Im a bit emotional tonight. I watched The movie Taking Chance. It made me think of a lot of people. I cried for the families who have lost sons or daughters in wars of past and of this time too. Personally, I am saluting Families and especially all who have fallen for the well being of People...I would Say Thank you with all my soul to all of our Troops.

I am quite sure there are so many DG members who have family and friends. There is one incredible lady I know as DustyDS.
This movie made me think of the remarkable memories of all the soldiers she has personally taken the time to record of their happening.
Here is one story, that I can only tell you by what I saw.
When I went on the Sistah trip to BJ in Texas. There, I sat in complete awe with tears streaming down my face as I heard The story of How Dusty was the commanding officer who happened to have BJ's, I believe brother in her troop. BJ's Brother was killed in the war and the family didn't know if he was alone, or quite what happened. Well, when everyone learned about Dusty, BJ was put in touch with her.
Guess what, Dusty in fact was with her brother and held him, as he went home. She made it a point to do this with all her beloved soldiers, kept a complete record of their incidents...Dusty gave Brenda and her family closure, after so many years they knew their loved one was not alone...She has put many a peoples mind at Ease. and today, I am especially proud to have seen and felt that love so pure, I am racked with sobs. The Heartfelt Hugs i witnesses from Dusty to Brenda "ordered" to be given by Joyce was one of the most incredible scenes I could ever be privledged to witness...
OMG, I have a picture of that...will have to look.

May God Bless ALL of our troops and all the Dusty's of the world.
With Love and Peace
