Random Dozen from 2nd Cup of Coffee

1. Have you, or has someone close to you, ever won an award for anything? (I just came from my dad's ceremony wherein he was given a medal of honor by the French government for service in France in WWII. Pictures to follow.) Mom won an award for picture taken during a flood.




2. Who is the nearest relative to you who has served in the US Military? Dad, brothers, step-brothers, uncles on dad's side, cousin and her husband on mom's side, both grandfathers.  My family has been represented in every conflict America has been in involved with.



3. Share something that stirs the patriotic spirit in you. Watching our flag wave in the breeze.



4. Where are you in the birth order in your family? Do you think your "placement" made a difference in your personality? First born. I am not sure if I can blame personality flaws on birth order.
