Dear friends ,

 

Yesterday I spent my day at Margraten to commemorate them who gave their lives for our freedom .

My special thoughts went to Pfc Bobby Morneweck , beloved brother of our friend and buddy Papa Art .

A few years ago I adopted the grave of Robert and I promised to take care of that place till the end of my days .

Here are some pics I took yesterday . I thought it would be a good idea to pay tribute to both brothers ….

Beautiful Reg. Thank you so much for all you do for our servicemen, especially our dear Robert. :wub:

 

For the newbies who aren't familiar with Robert or Papa Art, take a look at their pages on the main site:

Reg those are beautiful photos and such a beautiful sentiment also. It still amazes me when you folks from across the pond take such good care of our troops memories. I so appreciate that. Thank you very much for taking the time. The flowers are beautiful.

Dear friend. It's been way too long....

 

I agree with you regarding the roses. I think they capture the youth and beauty that Robert possessed. If you look at that smile of his... well if you can look at him without getting all teary-eyed, how can you not fall in love with that baby face! :wub:

We are planning on it sweet Reg. Would love to visit with you and Ann and all my other new friends. I think it would feel like a family reunion. Is it okay that I adopt all of you? :wub:
