I am so grateful to all the brave men and women who currently are serving our country, to all who have served our country, and especially to those who have given their lives in service to our country! I am the proud Granddaughter of two Veteran’s. On this day I thank both of my Grandpa’s for serving our country!
My Dad’s Dad- Harry Hoover served in World War II in the South Pacific.
Harry Hoover in the Army
He was in the Army. I had the opportunity to scan some of the photos that he took while serving. I have many pictures from while he was serving in the South Pacific. He was a member of the 1831st Ordnance S&M Co. My understanding is that the M is for Maintenance. He was a maintenance worker.
My Mom’s Dad- Vernon Blankenship served in the Korean War. He was in the Army.
I don’t know very much about my Grandpa Vernon, because he died when my Mom was seven. I still honor him and look forward to one day getting to know him.
I love this description found on the back of the photo…Vernon and fish he caught with pitch fork out of Moses Lake. Nibbles in foreground of picture. Taken in May 1943.
Thank you again Veteran’s for all that you have and will sacrifice for our country!!!
