James's Story

I am really proud that my grandad fought for his Country, but really sad that I never knew him. My mom and her sister and two brothers never had a father. But also they became orfans losing their mother also who died we suspect of a broken heart.

I have no memories of my grandad. He was killed before my mother was born.

I know mine is not the only tragic story and my heart goes out to all the others who suffer because of wars. God bless you all.
