MY FATHER REMEMBERED

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend.
Me?
It’s obviously not celebrated here in Mexico
But that’s not to say I didn’t contemplate...
As many of my family members served in the military.
My father, Harold W. Baldwin…
Whose birthday is on the real Memorial Day – May 30th
Fought in WWII…
His was in the 12th armored division…
A division that helped liberate Dachau…
One of Hitler’s death camps.
Although my father died in 1992…
He will be seen on May 31st…
In a National Geographic Documentary…
Inside World War II  is a three-hour television event
that provides a detailed visual timeline of the complex
war, with personal, in-depth stories from veterans
who fought in the deadliest conflict in human history. 
See it Friday May 31 at 7PM ET/PT on 
National Geographic Channel.
Back in 1990...
My father had given his oral testimony…
In Farmington Hills, MI...
And his video interview is now part of their archives.
I hope I can get this documentary here in Mexico..
If not, my sister will DVR it.
And for the next two weeks...
I will be M.I.A. from my blog...
As I have family visiting from California.
SQUEE!!!
Catch up with y'all soon.

Always, Em-Musing
