In Response To: Re: Pearl Harbor (King)

Every Dec 7th and Veterans day I think about an episode with my uncle Jack

Francis from the Scranton area in Pennsylvania.
I do not remember exactly how old I was when this happened but it was before

the Normandy invasion.
My uncle Jack was killed during that event.
I was visiting uncle Jack's house which was located in a Scranton (Avoka?)

suburb...in Pennsylvania.
I was climbing an old apple tree in the yard at his home, playing around with a

rope wondering how it would feel to be dangling in a tree on a rope..(child's

thoughts) who knows what would have happened????
Uncle Jack came walking up the path proud as a peacock in his army uniform,

with a smile on his face that never went away, I remember uncle Jack placing

me on his shoulder carrying me back to the safety of his home..
I never saw uncle Jack again after that visit because he gave his life during the

Normandy invasion.. Never have I forgot the wonderful feeling I had when I

was around him, even tho many many years have passed.

I am sure there have been many men like uncle jack who gave their lives for the

liberties we now enjoy..may God have blessed them all
