Vivian E. Edwards - October 27, 1944 in France during World War II

Today I have reflected about my father and his service to our great country. He was a WWII Vet who survived the US Army landing on Utah Beach in Normandy, France, as well as other horrors of his four and a half years of service. He was married to my mother in 1941, My older brother Rick was born in 1943 before my father left for Europe. I remember my father telling me he promised himself if he ever returned home to my mother, he would never leave her again. My father loved my mother so deeply and life was good just to be with her.

My father was proud of his country, his military service, and those he served with.

I am thankful to all our great men and women who have served, died and kept our great country free. God bless all of them. May those serving today be protected and know they are thought highly for what they do by so many.

The photo below was taken in 1941 in Washington State. The second was taken somewhere in France on 27 October 1944. The second photo shows the sadness and stress of war on my father's face.

Love and miss you DAD!!! Thanks for your service.

Your loving daughter
