GART Day 3 Black Hills National Cemetery Post 1

As we drove out from Rapid City, SD we came upon Black Hills National Cemetery. My Grandpa Charlie is buried there. We had an opportunity to stop and visit his grave. He was a wonderful man and my memories are so fond of him. I got to tell our children stories all about him; what he liked to do, how he met my grandmother, how he spoiled his grandchildren. It was very special.

My grandfather served in the Army Air Corps as a Sergeant from 1942 to 1945.

Our peeps. S - had Grandpa Charlie met you, he would have loved what a lovely young lady you are and what an amazing writer and spectacular reader you are. B - had Grandpa Charlie met you he would have adored your love of history and your imagination for living in any moment but the present! Tommy - you and Grandpa Charlie would have had so many talks about football and politics!

Thanks Daddy for taking this special picture!
