... my mom graduated from Thomas Dale High School in Chester, Virginia. With limited communications at the time, she was unaware of the D-Day operation going on in Europe that would make this date one that would be remembered in history. Her older brother was serving in the U.S. Army in Italy and France and would be killed in action just weeks before the end of the war.
The loss of her brother in World War II, she has told us throughout the years, was something her mother never got over. Gold Star moms carry deep scars....
