Memorial Day Memory

This year marks the anniversary of the death of my father lieutenant colonel Neil Menzies from his war wounds in Vietnam and Korea. He was in the Army, and he died of his combat wounds when I was 4 years old. He is wearing his uniform in this photo, and I am the baby. My mother’s father also died of combat due to a plane bombing over Japan in WW2 and so the women in my family are many generations of war widows. Memorial Day is always a sad day for us yearly.
