Memories of those who served.
I've mentioned before that I meet weekly with a group of old high school friends for lunch. Several of us are amateur historians and topics include the American Revolution, the Civil War, and World War II. Although we may look and feel old enough to be around for the first two wars, we're not really. We do have fun about remembering stories our parents told us about World War II. Each parent had different stories, which in most case had to be pried out of them. Stories from our mothers about the home front and about our aunts and uncles who served. Valuable memories. Family history. Write them down. I have. https://www.jeffreythrallbooks.com/

Emily smiled at the two women when she came out and modeled her new ensemble, making everyone in the cave laugh. O’Leary joined in, modeling her outfit. She had forest camo pants with a matching shirt, which she’d left open, displaying the red top she had been wearing with the formal dress.
“I think these are Justin’s,” said Emily, looking sad when she and the senator went back to the soup they were heating up. “They’re smaller than the rest of the military surplus back there.”
“I don’t think he would mind,” commented O’Leary with a sympathetic look. “You are family, and this is an emergency.”
“It just seems funny with him gone and all.” Emily’s statement sounded melancholy.
Sarah looked at Abby and nodded a thank-you. She rose, moving toward Emily. She put her arms around the young woman, hugging her gently.
As she released her grip, she said, “Then wear them with pride; he would expect that.”
