We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude. ~Cynthia Ozick
The last time my Dad visited me here in Virginia we were traveling home from Washington DC and I wanted to hear, again, what it was like when my he was in WWII. It was amazing, being 80, how much he could recall! He spoke of the places he was stationed, the ships he was on, and the unfortunate things that he witnessed. I'm not so sure I ever really appreciated his service to our country as much as I do now. He never saw the WWII Memorial because it was not yet built. I wish he was still with me so I could take him....
