My ultimate goal would have been to drive to the National Memorial Cemetery in Minnesota. It isn't close by and I have not convinced my kids that visiting grave sites is a fun and exciting adventure! My oldest is convinced that it is scary and creepy. So I have to keep those adventures to myself for now.
I am on Ancestry.com most every week. Yesterday I wanted to see what kind of military service I had in my past. I was fortunate that my brother, father and grandfather's never served in the military. I will not post the names of the living military members for privacy reasons but I will try to piece together those that have gone.
I do not have anyone that has died in the line of service which I am grateful for. I cannot imagine the pain of waiting for your soldier to come home only to get word that they will not be.
Here is my puzzle for the day. I have found an Alfred Sorteberg buried in the National Cemetery in Minnesota. So many things add up but I cannot find the correct one and I cannot find the link that I have to this man who fought and served our country. I have a never ending trail that I just can't piece together. Once again I will have to look and look until I can find the right answers!
