My dad was a WW2 veteran, and he belonged to an ex-serviceman's association that he really valued for the camaraderie.
I remember him always telling us how, as much as he loved being part of the M.O.T.H. organization, yet, he hoped his generation would be the last to join it and that it would just fade away, because war had ceased.
I sure wish my dad's generation had been the last to be at war
My prayers are lifted for every man and woman serving in the armed forces.
And my prayers are lifted for all their families too.
