I got a message from my oldest son today. He was selected as NCOIC of the American contingent that is in France this week for the D-Day ceremonies. Message as follows:
Today I had the absolute honor and privilege of marching the entire American Contingent through the streets of Carentan, as we celebrated its liberation by the 101st Airborne after D Day. One of the best things that’s ever happened to me.

Manikin I thought you for sure would appreciate what this means. You did your time in another war. I can't wait for that dance but not rushing to get there. Still work to be done here. Take care sweetie.

Thanks to all for the comments & loves. My son is over 20 years in the military now and left the 101st Airborne to become an instructor at the sniper school. Shortly he will retire at 41 years old.
