Dad never collected his 💜 he earned in Recife Brazil during WWII. In fact I didn’t find out about it until 20 years post mortem. He died in 1998, 25 years ago without telling a soul. I presume, of course, that Mom knew. They both took it to their graves. Someone suggested that I collect it. 🤔 His record reflects the original meaning of cut and paste. Swiss cheese has nothing on it.
I am asking myself and the Lord if there is any profit involved. If there is, I cannot see it. He would have been 104 this August.
In 1997, I got a man awarded (Korean War POW veteran, Johnny Johnson) FORTY THREE years after the fact of his heroism in Korean prison camps. He was pinned by a 3 Star General - with an Army Silver Star, in front of 800 of his POW Veteran peers, and his siblings AND his mother. Johnson said to me, 'All I ever wanted was to be thanked'. Only lately, the Lord reminded me of the whole incident. I'm starting to understand why he let me do this for that man...
