On this Veteran's Day...

I like to think about my grandfathers.  Both served in the Korean War.  Both were very different men, but both very brave and loved their country and their families.  Neither one liked to talk about their experience in the war, but when my grandpa John (my mom's dad) passed away, someone made a slide show of photos, and several were from when he was overseas. 

I love anything nostalgic and vintage, but these photos are especially treasured by me.  I love seeing my grandfather - handsome, young, with a twinkle in his eye that meant he was probably going to have a very very good time being very very bad. 

Both grandfathers have passed away, but I remember both of them very fondly. 

Thanks to all of the wonderful men and women (and their families) who have served our country in the noblest way.
