Ray's Burial at Arlington


We have all seen pictures of war and its aftermath.
 
The one below, taken at Arlington in ( I believe ) December 1946, is pretty darn powerful in my book.
 
It was another recent find, with more to follow.

The Messenger: April 9, 1944


On this day in 1944, it was Easter Monday. My mother and her siblings did not have school that day,  and their father - my maternal grandfather - decided to take the day off from working in the coal mines, which according to my mom did not happen too often.
 
I don't have the time this morning to post the full story of what happened that day, but I will this weekend.
 
Stay tuned.
