Funeral info for Jerry's Dad.

Ova Brewer was wounded on Omaha Beach during D-Day. And then later at the hedge rows after recovering from his first wounds. I don't know if he was lucky or not, but he survived being wounded twice in some of the worst fighting of the war. He was awarded a bronze starand received a purple heart as well as other campaign ribbons.

Correction: The dinner location has been changed to the Venice township hall.

Thank you Brian, even though you know my feelings on posting this...waaaay off topic.

I have told my family of the prayers and condolences from the members of this forum. We all send our deepest thanks and appreciation. I will say to anyone who has negative comments about the people of this forum; just look at the joining and support this group pulls together when even a single member needs any assistance. I for one am truly proud and thankful to have acquired the friendship and support of the people here.
