I would like to honor my Uncle John Joseph Cooney who served in WWII from 1940 to1945 in the U.S. Army.

I’ve been thinking about him today, wanting to thank him for his service and sending Love to Heaven. He passed in July of 1992 suddenly with no time for a goodbye.

Long ago people didn’t talk much of war. I even found his Purple Heart that nobody knew of and thought what a shame. He was a quite and gentle man.
