At the Gwinnett County Courthouse, I saw a flyer for the cemetery in Milledgeville. According to the website, Glennville has one too. Plans are for the Milledgeville memorial to be the last resting place for 100,000 veterans.
I finished reading D-Day: June 6, 1944 – The Climactic Battle of World War II by Stephen Ambrose. My maternal Granddad participated in this event and was captured and lived as a prisoner-of-war in Holland for a while. He would tell me a little bit about his time in the war and how he could still recall different events decades later. I think we should remember what kind of sacrifice was made to keep our country free of socialism, fascism, communism, and the tyranny of the monarchy. Our unique combination of freedom, responsibilities, and democratic capitalism that our republic exhibits deserves an honoring of our past, learning from our mistakes, and striving to improve an imperfect living experiment that should never lose the inherent rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
If you are interested, there is a company called Stephen Ambrose Historical Tours that you may want to examine.
It’s on my list to see, The National World War II Museum, in New Orleans. They even have lesson plans for teachers and an entire section devoted to education. You can even try a virtual field trip or video on demand.
If you have never thought about getting a Carbon Monoxide Detector to catch the “Silent Killer”, you may want to consider one, especially with winter coming on. I bought some of the more sensitive detectors years ago that are much bigger than some of the newer models. There could be some competitors to this one. I just looked around a little on the web. At least this one could fit on your key ring.
I do not endorse, have any stake, or have family with any stake in this company selling these detectors or the manufacturer.
