We only visited once a year as my mom insisted on seeing the Daytons Christmas window display. My dad said St. Paul was mentioned in the bible many time and Minneapolis... not once. :)troutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037665037475387929.post-72780107293754986742012-05-28T22:07:13.371-05:002012-05-28T22:07:13.371-05:00My prayers that this will be the last generation t...My prayers that this will be the last generation to know war.

I'm glad and grateful that they did - but like Mitch I have little confidence in the ability of the human species to grow up any time soon.The Owl Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11484484539144369129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037665037475387929.post-895402762588897112012-05-28T11:28:49.501-05:002012-05-28T11:28:49.501-05:00And sadly starting some fires of their own...

He received medals in WWII that indicate he was in the middle of some terrible things. He never talked about it either. <br /><br />I hope your cousin's son comes home safely and goes on to live a joy-filled life with his family.<br /><br />And I hope my hopelessness is proven wrong.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037665037475387929.post-85153139045805138092012-05-28T09:53:34.131-05:002012-05-28T09:53:34.131-05:00Every generation of my family has served in a war/...Every generation of my family has served in a war/conflict.
