thanks for the thread, Joe.
My cousin, who married my...nevermind, it happened it Tennessee. Anyway, my cousin was at Iwo Jima and watched the flag planting. He died this past year.
A great Christian man, who lived his faith on his sleeve every day. RIP Ray Brown.
and my dad, Irie Brown, served in the Air Force, and I brought with me to TV the armoire that I opened as a child at my grandparents' to marvel at his snazzy sergeant uniform. Dad and the uniform went away, but I'll see Dad and Ray again when I go to heaven.
