Today is Memorial Day. See the blog post by Jane McWilliams on Northfield.org for details on this morning’s 9 am ceremony at Northfield Area Veterans Memorial in Riverside Park.
See this album of photos from 2008, the large slideshow, or this small slideshow:
My younger brother PFC Frederick Winslow Blodgett who fought valiantly in WW II, won a bronze star and was only one of three in his rifle company who survived a battle with the Germans in Belgium died too young at 65.
I saw more than enough combat with Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron Thirteen in the Pacific. Neither of us was listed among Northfield WW II veterans.
