Hi all,
Thank you for sticking with me, especially over the last couple of months when my posts, blogs and social media alike have been at a minimum. For a while all I was capable of doing was Youtube Shorts as I let you know the emotional struggle I’ve been going through.
I also did a Toastmasters speech on what had happened. I would like to share it here with you in both text and as a Youtube video:
Read the Speech and more below:
Yesterday, my family and I attended the Memorial Day Services at our local cemetery. We have been at it each year since I was a kid, not counting the Covid lockdown, we have only missed one year. This service has been going for 87 years and has always been an important part of the town.
Being at this service is very special and personal for our family. Many family members are buried at this cemetery, and several have served. A great cousin was in the First World War, and then my two uncles served in the Second World War. Both my uncles would have a son that would serve during the Vietnam War.
Only one of them returned to the family, the other is buried in the family cemetery along with his father and mother (who also served during WWII).
People like them fought and died for the rest of us.
We will always remember the sacrifices of all that served and died.
We know not what the future has instore, but we must live up to their memories.
Kevin
