Today is Veteran's Day in the U.S. [I Happy Veterans Day]

My father was a World War II vet, and this day meant a lot to him.

He died last year, and today I feel his absence.

I just posted something for my brother that I lost as well.😔 He was in the army. I lost an uncle to the Korean war I never got to meet, he was my only uncle. I'm so sorry for your loss.💙🥀🕊️

@Peaches thank you. 🤗
My ex-husband was also a WW II vet. Today used to be his lucky day, as he was born on November 11th at exactly 11:00 am.
Condolences on your loss and great appreciation for his service. My father served in the Korean conflict. His older brother and my mother’s eldest brothers served in WWII. One of her younger brothers is a Vietnam vet.

@bijouxbroussard Thank you. Your family has certainly been touched by war.
@DrWatson I found out recently that both my grandfathers served in WWI. My brother confided to me once that he felt guilty for not having served in the military, but Pop told him he served his country by being a policeman.

I can understand and empathize, you feeling his absence today. My dad was also a veteran, who died just a little over a year ago. A hug from a distance, DrWatson.

It’s also Remembrance Day in the UK where we commemorate those who died in WW1 and subsequent wars

Big hugs to you. I still have my father but not my mother, my dad is a vet. We lost our daughter 6 years ago. The days and holidays our lost loved ones enjoyed seen so hard to deal with. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
