Veterains Day, and those who fought for freedom.
Today is a special day a day to remember those who died for the freedom of our very country. Today is a day that I remember my great grandfather Henry Pare', and the stories he has told of his experiences of World War 2, Korean War, and Vietnam. He was a special grandpa to me who lived to be 89 years old and past away when I was about ten years old. His wife is Hazel Pare' and she is still living age 92, what a great women, though she can't do much anymore, we still love seeing her. The funeral for my grandpa was a veterans funeral, he was buried with an American Flag in his uniform and they played taps (which is an emotional song for me after seeing the purpose and a reason behind the melody). During my grandfathers time serving he received a purple heart in the Korean War he was apart of the Airforce and help mange and fly airplanes when a gun shot came through the plane and hit him in the abdominal, he was cared for and recovered. I am grateful to be able to have and know my grandpa during my lifetime!
