Day 11: I am thankful for what our veterans have done for this great nation. Although both of my grandfathers are in heaven they both served in 2 different branches of the military. PopPop Stephens who served many tours in World War II, was shot in the head, leg and most of his body was burned when he went into a burning tent to save his friend, He received to many metals to name. PawPaw Pentecost was in the Air Force and was a airplane mechanic. He didnt see much fighting during the war but his job was important and dangerous in its own way by test flying planes after they were worked on and making sure they were war ready. I love them both so much. Lots of times I think about going and seeing them and then realize they are no longer with us. I miss sitting with them and listening to their amazing stories. They both had that signature giggle that everyone knows from them. So today I am thankful for what time on earth I got to spend and the great memories I have with 2 of my greatest heroes ever, my PawPaw Pentecost and PopPop Stephens. I miss you both.
