Today I remember B. T. Hanna, my dad, who served in the Construction Battalion of the United States Navy. Pictured below on the right.
I remember my brother Bill who served in the United States Air Force in Korea. 
I remember Garrett McLead, also a former student, who served in the United States Army. He was killed last summer with 17 other soldiers when the Black Hawk he was in went down in Iraq.
Today and everyday is day to remember those who are serving or who have served. It's also a time to remember that sacrifices are made by wives, sons and daughters, moms and dads every time a soldier puts on his uniform. Freedom is never free and should never be taken for granted.

Today I remember Lt. Philip Newton, United States Army, who proudly served in WWII. He survived the invasion on the beaches of Normandy, France and made his way to Berlin and then was there when one of the "camps" was freed. He spoke German and Flemish so we are not sure what his duties involved. I am very proud to be one of the many daughters of WWII veterans. I am very grateful for those who have served, of those who continue to serve and those who will serve in the future. Thank you very much.
Thanks, Catherine, for remembering our favorite soldier!
Catherine...what a beautiful way to remember our soldiers!
