Good morning all.
A quick pass-thru to say hello and to say
THANK YOU
for all you do to our AWESOME military and our allies.

Found this interesting article that fits with today's thread:

NATIONAL PURPLE HEART DAY:
YOUNGEST RECIPIENT, CALVIN GRAHAM,
WAS ONLY 13 YEARS OLD
After the United States entered World War II following the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor,
Calvin Graham, a 12-year-old from Texas, decided to enlist in the United States Navy in 1942.
At the time, enlistees had to be 16 years old with a parent’s consent to join but
with a forged signature of his mother’s and a stolen notary stamp,
Smithsonian Magazine reported he went to enlist.
Newsweek Link: HERE

Another interesting note: He got married at 14 and divorced at 16. SMH
