Speechless Sundays: Thanking Grandpa and Great Grandpa

There are the generations - both under ground, and above ground!  I like the looks of that marker, with space for 5 names, rather than just one or two.

Hi J. Philip,

I love the headstone and the gathering of the young to honor those who have passed. Myrl is right..your looking at generations..both under ground and above:).

J. P., you don't need any words for a picture like that.  What a wonderful experience for the kids.  I hope they remember it as they age, and I hope to continue to make those visits.  Good picture.  Thanks for sharing.

Phillip,

Looks like a great way to spend the day!  We never get to the cemetary to pay respect to ours.  A great idea though!

You have inspired me to work for free for one Veteran this year facing severe hardship also.  God bless America.

J Philip,

I'm always somewhat comforted when I visit the cemetary where my parents are buried. I just need to figure out how to do it more.

We got around the head stone problems with two head stones with the last names and then little footers with the individual names and dates.  It worked!

Good morning Phil. I was moved by this on Facebook and glad to see it here too. Ironic about the headstone. Why can't you replace it?

Phil:  Your great pics are ALWAYS inspiring and often fun, if not just heartwarming.  Appreciate your sharing, as I celebrate today with my Dad, Robert R. Briggs, who was a 2nd Lt. in Korea.  It took 3 weeks to get there by ship and back, but they were only there for 6 weeks, when the Treaty was signed and the so called war ended.  At least he came back safely and we're honoring him today!  Hugs and thanks as always for your inspiration -- where do I sign your petition to get the headstone(s) you want, for God's sake??!!

Definitely a great post and experience for your kids and the family to have together.

Hi Phil,

I am speechless as generations past has what made us the upstanding adults we are today. They passed on ethics, morals, the importance of hard work and education and a love for our country. I am sure you have passed this on to your kids standing there thanking generations gone by.

Have a great week and thanks for a wonderful picture and post.

Phil,

A very inspiring picture.  That says everything about the day.

I missed this post but glad I caught it now. Love your kids, they are so great!

Phil, I am sorry I missed this one on Memorial day, but that is a beautiful and moving picture. I hope you had a meaningful Memorial Day.

Enough said, right?  VERY moving picture.

J Philip, it looks like living history in the making. A lovely image to bring to your mind whenever you want.
