Memorial Day

If you have no stories, research and share a story or poem you have found. We have our freedoms because of brave men and women that serve our country. Do we really realize how lucky we are to live in the USA?

I'll share with you a story from my father-in-law during WWII. He was a platoon leader and they were in a small town along the Rhine River in Germany. He had received orders during the day that the following morning he and his group were to cross the Rhine River. He was very troubled with the news. They could hear the Germans all night; they were on the other side of the river. He felt he and his group would be killed the next morning. He prayed to God to help his father. He had lost his mother just a few years earlier and he worried that his death would me more than his father could handle. As his group prepared to leave the next morning my father-in-law received new orders. They were to go further down the river to aid another group, they were not to cross at this time. A different group was given the assignment to cross the Rhine. As my father-in-laws group was leaving they could hear the bullets. Everyone that crossed the river that morning was killed. It was a sad day.
