Since I cannot visit gravesites, I have to honor them virtually. When I was watching Young Indy, I enjoyed the documentary of the actual places they showed. I have several pictures of these two along with others that I can share later. Today, I can go to our local Veterans wall in Irving and honor all our military with a simple prayer. I have never forgotten our military. There is a flag at the end which is the POW/MIA one. I think about those who have given their life for freedom's light, and honor them as well. I know that those who do that are watched over by God

In doing some research, I discovered that a group keeps track of graves in the European theater, I had remember watching the massive amount of troops who were lost in combat. I have one who is buried in France.
