As this Memorial Day draws to a close my thoughts turn to my Uncle Bill Philps. Although he died before I was born serving in Northern Italy, he has always stayed alive within my heart from the stories shared with me about him. He was married to my Mother’s sister, Helen, who I was named after. My prayer this day is that honor, appreciation, and respect be given to all who have died, as well as those who have served in the past and serve presently that we may be one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. 🇺🇸
