Memorial Day:

Iron Men on Wooden Ships

I have a picture in my office of my grandfather “Papa Joe” with the crew of his Coast Guard boat just before they shipped out to participate in the D-Day Normandy Invasion.  These Coast Guard Wooden Patrol Boats were eighty-three feet long, made of wood and were manned by crews whose bravery earned them the nickname the Iron Men on Wooden Ships.  Here’s a link to a great site about the WPBs: http://uscg83footers.org/.  In the midst of the picnics and parties this weekend take a minute to remember those who defended our freedoms.  I’d also recommend listening to any tales they tell.  Papa Joe’s in the front row, second from the left and even though he’s been gone for years I can still hear him telling sea stories.  Have a Good Memorial Day Weekend and don’t forget to remember.
