After the virtual remembrence

My Thanks to all who were able to attend. I hope this helped make this somber occasion a little less so.

For those who were unable to attend, or just want to watch again, I’ve posted the recording of the event on YouTube; you can view it here: https://youtu.be/CtuIIeV6ckQ

A couple things that were mentioned:

The first hand account of my Dad’s war experiences: https://wildcorvid.org/media/1941.pdf

The video of him telling stories at the Ford Elementary School in Laurens, SC: http://youtu.be/68HuZiPgVMw

I will inform everyone when we can get together for real for further remembering and the burial. Where is a bit of an open question right now. My Dad’s overriding wish is to be placed with his Wife, who is buried in St. Augustine, FL, however in later years he expressed an interest in going to a military cemetery. Maybe Arlington if he’s eligible, or maybe some place associated with the 3rd Infantry Division he served with, or Ft. Jackson SC where he did his basic training. Either way I’ll be making a trip to Florida. When is also an open question, depending on the course of the pandemic. Stay tuned.
