Memorial Day

Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day honors the memory of people who died while serving in the United States military.

Harold Delbert "Hal" Currey, Jr. (the only son of the parents who raised me) and my uncle John William "Jack" Slater, both Second Lieutenants in the Army Air Corps, died in action during World War II. You can see their pictures and read more about them here.
