Sadly my Grandfather on my mothers side died before I was born and my Grandfather on my fathers side never talked about any events before his death in 1975.

My Flag went to half mast at 12:01AM this morning in memory off all who have served and gave their life and will return to full mast @ 12:00pm in about 15 minutes).
As usual I played a tape recording of taps in honor just loud enough this morning @ 8am for myself and wife to hear. I don't know how my neighbors would react to a full volume version.
