VETERANS DAY - WE REMEMBER

Veterans from various Wars are honored today. The Banks are closed, and Flags decorate the landscape in memory of those who have passed.

My "Queen" remembers her Dad, who served in  WW II.  He sailed on the above pictured ship, S/S Denver, as part of a Naval Security Team. When the ship got separated from its convoy it became an easy target for a German U-Boat. The Denver was one of many ships that went down in the North Atlantic.

The survivors of this attack spent thirty-four days at Sea. They lived through rough seas, hot sun, no food, rain, sand storms and even after being rescued were confronted with Apes. This final scene of their ordeal took place in the Canary Islands.
