Veteran’s Day

I had a post prepared for today, I was dotting my i’s and crossing my t’s (figuratively of course), but had to take a break to go pick up my daughter from school. Then I saw this tweet:

Immediately I went to Mooshinindy’s site, and read her post “of veterans and vomit.” (Don’t worry the vomiting turned out ok, her daughter is all better now)

I clicked on the link to Ancestry.com and first searched for my Dad’s father. Under the top result , which was record of his death and burial at Arlington, I saw this.

My great grandfather’s registration card for World War 1. Wow.

Excuse me while I go lose myself over at Ancestry.com.

Thank you veterans. Happy Veteran’s Day.
