He was stationed in the Pacific during some of the most horrific fighting. After many, many, many months he was granted 4 weeks leave. These weeks were spent in Australia and New Zealand. The only thing he would ever speak about from that time in his life was how truly beyond wonderful the Australian & New Zealand people had been to him. He would never forget the kindness shown him. It took a lot for my dad to cry. Every time he would share his stories of those precious days, there were tears in his eyes.<br /><br />I will say a prayer for the heroes of your nation, and say Thank You to everyone for my dad.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647240638644798959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2066317770814487381.post-49830269782506595362012-04-26T13:14:16.395+10:002012-04-26T13:14:16.395+10:00What a nice post in honor of the soldiers.
