Veteran’s Day and my Grandfather
from A Teaspoon of Healing · host Dawn DiMare
In this podcast, I talk about Veterans Day and a little about my grandfather, Richard Morris, who fought in World War 2, was captured by the Nazis and escaped. He was also a very creative person, a prolific writer, and always took a stand against corruption and hypocrisy. He was also a descendant (as I am) of one of the original signers of the Declaration of Independence, Lewis Morris. My grandfather was a very unique soul. He was very empathetic and had a disdain for hypocrisy and grandiosity. His story differs from most veterans. I often wonder what he would think about our current social climate. This episode is the audio version of the blog post: Honoring Our Veterans - and my Grandfather. You can read the blog post or listen to this short episode, which I recorded in 2021.
