I recently read a letter my Grandfather wrote which was published in his hometown newspaper. He was away from home and mentioned being sorry so many of his friends were ill. The letter was written in December 1918.

I just realized it was probably the flu epidemic.

Your post really made me think, again, about what previous generations have been through-—yet they went about their business, worked hard, defended freedom, built and sacrificed for this, the greatest country on earth.

I salute them, every single one.

And you know what? We get some of our strength of character from our forefathers, but also maybe truly some of their physical strength is passed down to us!
