I used red, blue and vanilla thanks to the DP, but this event was all about "remembering the high cost of freedom" and heroes.
Which is not just the death toll and injury count. It's also those who were left behind and the long-lasting effects of what they endured and the impact that had on the soldiers as well as their families to come.
This is an annual event in our area. We were gifted tickets 7 years ago and again this year. This year four WWII veterans were honored and their stories were told. It was a very emotional night for me because in addition to to the heartbreaking stories, my grandmother's first husband was killed in France and there is a chance one of these men buried him. And her second husband, my grandfather, was stationed on the same tiny island as another of these men. I was able to meet him, and he didn't recognize my grandfather's picture, but it was neat to talk to him. (My grandfather passed away 14 years before I was born)

This sounds like an amazing event & wonderful the WWII heroes were honored & told their stories. I can understand how emotional this would be for you because I have an uncle (who I never met) who is MIA from the Korean War & I know how I would react. Love the American Flag DP!!
