Veterans
Thanks to Linda for this post idea!
Veterans Day is coming soon, Monday, November 12 and while we are all VERY proud of our family's Veteran's, we don't often remember to thank them. Please help me complete this list of the Dennison Veterans and the service they completed, so we can all remember to thank them this year. Add the names of your in-laws, friends, etc. if you wish.
I'd like to include title, branch of military, dates of enlistment, places of service
Sgt. Arthur Dennison, retired, US Army, Germany, Vietnam
Dennis Burns, Vietnam, Cu-Chi and Battle of Renegade Woods
David Boettcher, Germany, Gulf War/Desert Storm
Curtis Traxler
David Jay Boettcher
What about our ancestors? Did any of them fight in the Civil War, WWI or II or any others?
BTW, Louka Landry Lester Pomplun and his father Louis Lester Pomplun are named for Louie's uncle, Lester Pomplun, who served in the Navy and died in World War II in the Battle of Leyte Gulf from a torpedo attack. The Pompluns were so kindly given a picture of Uncle Lester in military gear, still in it's original frame, which now graces their hallway.
Louie's nephew, Kris Pomplun, who lived with them for a year while he was in high school, is currently in the US Navy. Pray for him, that he may not have to see active duty in a war-torn area and that this current war will soon be resolved so all our honorable men can come home.
