Many times the less you have of anything or the more you are away from it, the more you appreciate it !

Re: Christmas 1944
During wartime and under those conditions that is so true. I have the Christmas card an uncle sent to my grandmother from somewhere in France in 1944. He was already dead from a sniper's bullet by the time the card reached her in Juniata Co. The telegram from the War Department announcing his death arrived soon after the card did. I also have her Gold Star. .
