  • Today we went to Jefferson Barracks Park - St. Louis, MO.<br /> We sat on a bench overlooking the Mississippi River and ate our lunch.<br /> <br /> We met 3 wonderful Veterans who were at the Battle of the Bulge Monument<br /> that is located by this beautiful overlook of the river.<br /> <br /> We listened to many interesting stories from them about their time in the war, <br /> and thanked them for their service.<br /> <br /> As is with every Veteran we seem to meet - we also discussed many other topics - <br /> asking them many questions about life, how they have endured many hardships, <br /> and still came through emotionally and have such a zest for everyday things..<br /> <br /> We paused for a moment of prayer for all the families of Virginia Tech - <br /> noting the flags in the park at the Battle of the Bulge monument were half mast <br /> in mourning for them.<br /> <br /> This gallery is for all at Virginia Tech who are going through hard times, sadness, or emotional duress.<br /> You are forever changed, but know many have you in our thoughts and prayers,<br /> and we hope for comfort and peace in your heart in the days ahead..<br /> <br /> Sincerely,<br /> Mike and Debbie Henderson, Mike Amelung and <br /> The Veterans of WWII - Battle of the Bulge, <br /> And Veterans of the 87th Infantry Division<br /> <br /> April - 2007
