Drew, "Newfoundland" on your buddy's jersey and your mention both theatres: flying in US Navy?
You'll do just fine for your mother and family next week. Words usually come easier when we talk of what we know and how we feel about it.

Dave, Drew, you have my condolences. Dad's been gone for 10 years and not a day goes by without me thinking about him. They may be gone, but they are always with you. Gil

Drew,
My thoughts will be of you, as you do that. I eulogized my mother at her funeral, about 13 years ago. I pray He gives you the peace and ease of delivery He did for me. My condolences to you, and your family.
SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

My condolences to Dave on the loss of his Dad and to Drew on the loss of his Mother. It's tough when you lose your parents, and their passing really hits home at this time of the year around the holidays.

King: Col. Byron Meader was a Mainer, born in Ellsworth. He spent 1943 in support service of the Army Air Corp field at Guadalcanal, returned to the U.S. to join the Air Corp, but was given a medium artillery unit, trained, then shipped to Europe to help in the Battle of the Bulge where for the most part he was within 200 yards of the front lines. His 69th Division met the Russians at the Elbe April 25, 1945. I'm thankful, and honored, to have been his friend.
BTW: my father's brother-in-law was in the Seventh Army's 45th Infantry Division that liberated Dachau.
