They are respectful and thoughtful in so many ways. Sure is last year a fellow sent my cousin pics. This year i met someone that said they would send me pics every year when they go to Normandy. I will never be able to take my family there on my own. So its very cool to have this person do this for me. I`m very proud that the man thats resting there was my PAP. Maybe someday i`ll meet him in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
