With Memorial Day
I wanted to honor one
I never met,
my great-grandfather.
The one in white with a tie is
John F. Barnette
Full blood Creek Indian of Oklahoma
Private first class of
Company "G" 140th. Infantry
during The World War.
Was a POW in September 29, 1918
helping another man by giving
him some water after hiding out from
the Germans for about 2 hours.
My grandfather is next to him
and was in WWII,
a fireman putting out the
planes that came down on fire.
GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS
Freedom is not free!
I wish I knew my grandpa. I would have asked him what it was like to be stationed in the Pacific.
