In Loving Memory of My Father and my Uncles who stood up for what they believed in, who fought for our future and our right to be free.
&
Also for their brave spouses who waited patiently at home for them never knowing if they would see their husbands coming home to them again.
Adele and Harold Eckert my Parents



My Father Brothers who were also in the war and returned home safely Shirl, Eugene and Raymond Eckert all of whom have all since passed over.
