Veterans


If I try to list all the veterans I know, I will omit some. So while I wish them all a happy day, I want to mention a few by name.

My father, James Byron Dodd
My brother, Ted B. Dodd
My uncles: L.P. Mitchum, Ray Dodd, Weldon (Buddy) Dodd, George Talmadge Dodd, Nolan Ray
Carmelites who served as chaplains or as enlisted men: Fidelis Fosselman, Gerard Taylor, Kenneth Huppman, Martin Murphy, Bryan Paquette, Ernest Unverdorben
My own Tom Scharbach
My friend Lee
Our friend Ralph

We plan to attend the local Native American veterans' group's brief service today at 11:00 a.m. -- in the snow! (Okay, not that much snow.)
