bald1A private picture I hesitated to post. But it is so sweet and tender. A last goodbye with my mom 2 days before he passed in the hospice.

TMatsWow, that picture!
I just looked it up. 16 million Americans served in WWII. There are about 100,000 left. My dad and all my uncles who served are gone. I hope your step-dad felt prepared to go. Peace to your mom.
