Riverside National

Cemetery. On the way home from having my sliders installed I stopped to visit my parents yesterday.

While there, some pieces of a rather odd puzzle fell into place.

Street names and links to them.

The name of the street my parents will forever rest at has a strange significance(to me). It's named after a cemetery in a town in France where a battle raged in WWl and where a Great Uncle of mine lost his life and will forever be buried. Stranger than that, he died on the battlefield in 1918 - on the very same day - I took my oath of service many years later.


Rank Private First Class, U.S. Army

Unit 39th Infantry Regiment, 4th Division

Entered Service From Oklahoma

Date of Death September 27, 1918

Buried Plot C Row 27 Grave 36

Meuse-Argonne American Cemetery


It's enough to make a man ponder.

 

Although people remain skeptical of beliefs and energy; and we all have our own. I like to believe there are forces at work we are unable to see or understand.

Something that has alluded me for so long, since I can remember, the time 12:34 continuously grabs my attention. I am sure by now this has been entrained, so maybe there is no significance; I have yet to discover.

I met my wife through a mutual military friend I went to basic with. Not only did she go to the same high school (which I didn't know her at the time) but the mutual friend (being a close friend of hers) knew we would hit it off right away. 10 Years later, we are happily married and I have a hard time finding an explanation as to how this all happened.
