Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad

I read another post today reminding me of Pearl Harbor Day. And I certainly remember learning all about that horrible event.  And why my father decided to join the Army shortly afterwards.  He quickly rose to the  position of Captain and managed the warehouse in NY that supplied our troops in Europe. And.......somehow he managed to go back to MN and meet my Mother and fall in love during all that craziness going on in the world.

A year later he was able to break away for a few days and - get married!  So us kids think of this day as our Parents Wedding Day of course!  And they were blessed to be married for 60+ years 💕

Happy Heavenly Wedding Anniversary Mom and Dad!

Hi Doug Dawes I'm sure my Dad hears you up in heaven.  They've both been gone now for what seems like a long time.....but they're on my mind and in my heart!

Hi Nina Hollander, Broker I do think of them often and particularly around this time of year.  Tbeir history is sweet......and I'm guessing many folks 'found' each other back in those days and made it last a lifetime.

Anna "Banana" Kruchten funny how something good can come out of something as tragic as war.

Hi Anna- and Happy Heavenly Anniversary to your parents. What a time they lived in...and to get married, raise a family and be married for 60 years!  That's remarkable.

It was quite the time for everyone back then Kathy Streib .....hard to imagine all they all went through. And yet, that was a time when leaders became stronger leaders and that's what both my parents became.  I miss them both!

Wow - 60+ years Miss Anna "Banana" Kruchten - that is most definitely a blessing. And of course more blessing followed with you, your brother, and other siblings (if you have others).
