1050. Meeting on July 4, 1955 and Beautiful Patriotic music by LDS Artists!
Happy July 4th to all you dear friends! I'm reposting # 881 I posted a year ago, about my husband Wayne, and him coming home on July 4th from the army in 1955, and 2 years earlier on July 4th from his mission to Sweden. Fun memories! Also some beautiful Patriotic songs! (Further down) Wayne, on a July 4th holiday at our son Allen's in Menan, Idaho. Wayne on the left, and Blaine, his twin brother, in the army in 1954, in Europe. This was first written on July 4, 2016. Tomorrow, July 4th, is the anniversary of two major events in my husband Wayne D Eckman's life! In 1953, he returned home from his 2 and a half year mission to Sweden, and was awaiting his draft papers to be in the army, during the Korean War period. In August, the next month, is when Wayne and I were introduced by mutual friends, on a blind date. My best friend from Dixie High School had married one of his best friends in Murray, Utah. They picked me up from an old Church in Salt Lake
