Thinking a lot about you guys who serve our country especially today.

Also thinking a lot about my Grandfather, Lash Rushing. He was killed in Italy during WWII. My Mother was three and Aunt was one. My Grandmother raised them all by herself on a fixed income supplemented by catering, sewing drapes, etc. She never remarried because she didn't think it was the best thing for her girls. She has lived in the same house that he built for her before he shipped out. Yep, same house for over 65 years. My Grandmother has told me only a few stories about him because it makes her so sad even today. Guess I'm thinking a lot about my Grandmother today, too.

I'm sure there are many such stories. A few years ago my grandmother gave me a small pocket bible which my grandfather had carried with him into the Battle of the Bulge--3 days after D-day. As a foot soldier he was carrying it when a friend in his company stepped on a landmine.
When my grandfather went to help him, he also stepped on one. He lost a foot and left the war. I don't know what became of his friend. I hope and pray I would have the same spontaneous courage to run through a mine field to help a fallen comrade.

Ladd returned from the war and built a family and lived to be about 60. They doctors suspected that the massive heart attack he suffered may have been related to shrapnel from his war injuries reaching his heart. He died on the job working as carpenter for the Anaconda mining company in New Mexico.

Wow, that story is tough to read.


Thanks guys for fighting for our country and for our freedoms that we enjoy so much.
