Just imagine we're sitting around the fire on a snowy night, listening to my parents' memories, our family stories, learning about our ancestors, passing everything down to the newest generations.

Jeff Dowell, Jr. 1922 - 2002
Five years ago, May 19, my father died. I just wanted to share a few pictures of him, and of the beautiful gravestone that Mom picked out.

THANKS LORI FOR YOUR COMMENTS TO MY JOURNAL. IT REALLY DOES MEAN A LOT. JEFF DOWELL WAS TWO YEARS YOUNGER THAN I AND SERVED DURING WORLD WAR 2. THANKS FOR YOUR FAMILY PHOTOS. THERE ARE SO MANY LOYAL MILITARY FAMILIES AND VETERANS OF WORLD WAR 2 THAT ARE DYING EACH WEEK NOW. RECENTLY I READ OF THE LAST VETERAN OF WORLD WAR 1 DYING. OFTEN I THINK OF MY MILITARY BUDDIES AND WONDER HOW MANY ARE ALIVE. I HAVE NEGLECTED TO HAVE CONTACT WITH ANY, NEVER ATTENDED ANY RE-UNIONS AND NOW MY SQUADRON AND GROUP ARE NOT MENTIONED IN THE PUBLICATION RECEIVED. I ENJOY READING YOUR JOURNAL ENTRIES. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS ALL HIS CHILDREN AND HOPEFULLY SOON USE HIS POWER TO CORRECT THE EVILS OF THE WORLD. sam
