Remembering Feb 19

February 19, 1945 ... The day Jerry landed on Iwo Jima as a young Marine and was fortunate to walk off later in March when the battle was truly won.

February 19, 2012 ... The day Jerry left us to rejoin Rita and other members of his family and friends.

February 19, 2020 ... no pun intended but hindsight is really 2020 - hard to believe that it has been eight years .. I still have the urge, from time to time, to make the mental note to 'tell Dad', or 'ask Dad', and then I remember.

Cousin Jerry will always be special to the Brouillard Family because he and our Dad - Del were together at Iwo Jima. Dad came home with a Purple Heart and the scars that all who fought came home with from their bravery!
February 19 is also the birthday of my only daughter Jana who just turned 34!
Very special people on a very special date in Jerry's story and the Brouillard Family Story.
Thank you Steve for keeping your Dad's memory alive!
