This is the only picture of Daddy in his uniform that I have on this computer. It was taken when he was on leave in Hawaii.
Daddy gave part of his life during WWII to serve his country. He was trained in the desert and was then sent to Attu. Daddy didn't talk much about his time in the Army. I think it was just too painful for him. Daddy was a medic. While at Attu he treated a lot of frostbite. He talked of soldiers losing some of their digits and sometimes their feet from frostbite.
This is what part of his military records states:
SURGICAL TECHNICIAN - Was in the Pacific Theater of Operations in a Medical Detachment with the 7th. Infantry Division. Participated in the Aleutians Islands, Eastern Mandates, Southern Philippines and Ryukyus campaigns. Advanced with the Infantry on all their landings. Treated men as soon after they were hit as possible. Performed first aid on all types of wounds. Was wounded carrying out his duties on Leyte in the Philippines.
My three brothers served their country by joining the Air Force. My brother Zarone spent 20 years in the Air Force.
Frank, my husband, spent 20 years in the Army. He served in the music field. He marched in many parades and played many concerts. The hardest part of his service was funeral services for our fallen soldiers.
Frank's Dad served during the Korean Conflict with the Marines.
I am thankful for their service to our country and for each man and woman that have served and are serving our country.

In between rain showers I took a few pictures of my favorite subject matter with my camera lens, insects. I know some insects are downright creepy and ugly. I find them interesting though and love going into their small world. My shoulder makes me a bit shaky and I find it impossible to take pictures of some insects with my camera on a tripod... so it takes me a few shots to get a photo that isn't very blurry.
