Father's Medal

An honor way long overdue and well deserved. It is indeed a shame nations such as the UK and the US have given such short shrift to those who served so selflessly and valiantly for their countries and the many other nations during WW2. The efforts of other lands such as Russia and France to recognize those men puts to shame the feeble efforts of those heroes own homelands...

Conditions such as Alzheimer's are indeed extremely hard on the families and love ones of the person afflicted; my sister suffered from a lifelong series of disabilities and there were times when it would have been a grace to have it end. My sympathies to you and your family for your loss and may he rest in peace and a thank you to him for his great service...
