Honoring My Hero

How Handsome is this guy?
My Pa!
Brent J. Duncan is his name! He enlisted in the Army when he was 18 years old and served for 3 years. He was a paratrooper and then went to Korea (not during the war) and served one year there as a supply truck driver.
His uniform was made of pure wool (I was itchy after carrying it) and seemed as new as the day he was given it. He had two dress uniforms because they were just changing over from the brown color that had a short coat to the new green with a "modern" style longer coat.
I have one daughter really interested in joining and we had a long talk with Grandpa about enlisting. (yeah, momma doesn't like discussing it)

New Heading

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed but for about 4 weeks I've been trying to choose a different heading for my blog:
It was; "This is it....."
if you have been awake these past 4-6 weeks, this is the name of the Michael Jackson movie about his last concert that didn't happen.
Anyone out there have ideas of a new name for our blog. I loved this name, it fits me and our family, but......

I welcome ANY idea. But be nice :o)
