Hello all, I'd like to honor those vets who have gone before us on this most solemn holiday. Those who were KIA, survived a war or served but now passed should have our grateful thanks for the sacrifices they made for our great country.
I'd like to acknowledge my Father, Julius M. Westberg, 3rd Bn, 351st Inf Regt, 88th Inf Div "The Blue Devils" who served in the Italian campaign and was in the unit that liberated Rome. He was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge, Bronze Star and Purple Heart w/OLC along with the normal campaign medals for WWII. He was the finest and most noble man I've ever known.
Lets not forget why we have this day. It's not about BBQ's, fun and games and family and friends. It's about them.
If you'd like to honor someone, please post their story. I think they'd like it.
Best Regards,
Greg
