Veterans Day! A big day for my family and hopefully a day of remembrance for all. I know that today my 87 year young father will go or has already gone to the Olive Lawn Cemetery in La Mirada, Ca. to place flowers on my mothers grave. She is a veteran of WWII from the United States Coast Guard where she met my father also a veteran of WWII from the United States Coast Guard.
If you want to read a sweet love story of these two it can be seen here .
I also have my 3rd born son Troy Mosley whom is from Westwood/Pinetown who I proudly brag about already at the tender young age of 24 is already a combat veteran from doing a 18 month tour in Iraq.
For a time Troy had his picture hanging in Plumas Bank, the Westwood Ca 96137 branch along with other locals that had or were on their way to Iraq or joined the military. It always just hit my heart and soul to see so many of our local youth join the military. It was very profound in deed.His grandfather from his fathers side Douglas Fairbanks Mosley too was a retired Army major, being in WWII and the Korean war. Actually and truly flying helicopters for the 4077th M.A.S.H. unit just like the T.V. show M.A.S.H.
So my post today is simplistic, my flag hanging off of our newly built deck with pride!
We must never lose sight of what these men and woman past, present, deceased or alive have done!
Happy Veteran's Day, You are all thought of fondly by just a girl in Westwood/Pinetown Ca
