“Who do you honor on Memorial Day?”

My blogging friend Audrey of Minnesota Prairie Roots wrote a poignant Memorial Day post Remembering, Honoring, Grieving on Memorial Day

She asks, “Who do you honor on this Memorial Day?”

Here’s my response to her question.

Uncle Alan Ray Hendricks. my father’s younger brother.

My sister Mary ordered a Commemorative Brick at the WWII Museum in New Orleans. as a memorial tribute to Uncle Alan.
