Sunday is Remembrance Day marking 100th anniversary the end of World War I, and earlier this week I was asking my co workers if they had family members who served in the forces. I got this email from Karen…she’s one of our sales reps. She said…
“My Grandfather was a POW captured by the German’s in Italy. He was missing and presumed dead until he showed up three years later via the Red Cross. It is an interesting story and he was an amazing man! Lots of struggles when he returned but he was someone I am super proud of.” We welcomed Karen into our studio so she could share this amazing piece of her family’s history…

This is the telegram Karen’s grandma received after not knowing if her husband was alive for over a year and a half.
