Hope you are doing well and (if you're in the US) enjoyed your long Memorial Day weekend — and were surrounded by family and loved ones.
If you are a US military service member — or had or have one or more in your family — thank you for that service.
And to all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect this nation — I honor you — and offer gratitude to each family member and loved one for that sacrifice as well!
------------------------------
With Memorial Day in mind — I'll share a few photos of my Grandpa and Dad.
I'm not sure what kind of military service my Grandpa did — but recently found photos of him in a Doughboy style uniform (possibly during or just after World War I).

My dad served in the US Navy during World War II — and related to his time on the docks — he succumbed to mesothelioma many years later.
Mesothelioma is a lung cancer caused by Asbestos exposure, Learn more about it here.
