Picture Life | Gratitude | Where I Stand | 11 O'Clock
At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of the year 1918, the hostilities of World War I came to an end. My great grandfather received the Silver Star for his actions in crossing enemy lines to deliver a message during the battle in the Argonne Forest in World War I. I'm grateful that he survived the war and came home to marry my great grandmother (who happened to be of German heritage). My older son is named for him.
