I had a wonderful experience today. My wife Kelly’s grandfather, James Gleason visited Washington, DC to see the memorial that was erected to honor those, like himself, who fought in WWII. A great not-for-profit organization called Honor Flight flies veterans, free of charge, to DC, so that they may get the opportunity to see the great memorials that stand in their honor.
I brought along an audio recorder so that I could get a few great stories out of Grampa. Below is a link to that conversation.

I’ve only known Grampa for a few short years, but I have learned so much from him. Pictures of today’s event will follow soon, but I wanted to get this audio up right away.
Thanks for coming to visit YOUR memorial, Grampa.
Love,

Thank you for posting this Matty, it’s amazing to hear Grampa and you two! I’m glad it was a good day!
