They have built the most beautiful memorial for American airmen who served on a nearby airbase during World War II, and who perished in the war. A couple of very elderly gentlemen made the journey over here with their families, and lots of young men in uniform came from a nearby airbase. The Bishop held the service of remembrance. It was truly wonderful and inspiring.<br /><br />Hugs<br />AmiAmi Starsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745610022591654541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100475796740896413.post-28827666337183783102014-11-10T09:59:02.549-08:002014-11-10T09:59:02.549-08:00Thank you, PK.

It is so important that they receive letters from home as emails are not the same. He did five tours of duty over there, and having survived, he has now left the army, married a lovely girl, and they are expecting their first baby in the spring. <br /><br />Although they are half our ages, we are now firm friends, and I am so glad I wrote to 'my soldier'.
