Follow Friday # 5

Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read!


Friday's question is...

Q: In light of 11.11.11 and Veteran’s Day tell us about your favorite solider and how he or she is saving the world. Fictional or real life.

A: A few years ago I had to do a project for Veterans day on a solider who served in a war. My veteran was a family friend who served in the Vietnam War. It was such an honor talking to him and hearing his story. He is such a sweet, courageous man and I enjoyed every second talking to him!

Comments? Who is your favorite solider?

Comment below and happy 11.11.11!!

    It must've been quite a learning experience talking to the vet! God Bless them!

    That's nice to have someone you know be a Veteran! I couldn't remember if my grandpa served or not, so I chose a fictional character!

    Hi! New follower.

    I had a similar experience talking to someone who had experienced the war first hard, but he was part of the French Résistance and spent several years in concentration camps. I can relate to your experience. Really very powerful!

    That's so great! I love chatting about history from those who were actually there. It's always so inspiring.
