If my brothers were in Virginia today, I would take them to the Golden Corral to eat tonight. The Golden Corral is doing a great thing. They offering a free "Thank You" dinner for any person who has served in the U.S. Military. I should take my husband Jack who was in the Army too.

The Catholic War Veterans pose for a group photo after mass with Father Ritzler. Photo circa 1959-1960. I believe some of the older gentlemen pictured fought either inWorld War I or World War II.
I left a long comment here but don't see it. I can't remember it all. I will say that your brother pitching for the Black Knights was a team I got to watch more than once and I was there when he was. In fact I worked for the commanding officer of the 5th Cav Regt, Black Knights. So I might have some military orders papers with his name on it. Next time I have them out I will look.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember all the other stuff I had posted.
Thank you for this post and documenting their stories. I am most appreciative for their service, and I know others are here as well (I am an American, living in France).
ReplyDeleteGreat to see tribute paid to all who served in our military. I know you are very proud of your brothers. Pappy
