Independence Day!


Scan11814, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

My wife is having new heavy duty windows installed all the way around the house which results me having to move all the stuff around in my room.
In so doing I came across a small gray case about 6" x 2" which contained this medal awarded to our unit in Korea.
Odd that it would turn up today of all days.

South Korea enjoys freedom thanks to you and those brave American forces who came before and after. Meanwhile, the North languishes in abject poverty and enslavement.

Buckles: Did your folks play dates with their own act while you were gone, or were they with a show?

Both, they toured with Tex Carson Circus (Jack Moore) as well as Rudy Bros. Circus (Rudy Jacobi).
In between they booked whatever independent dates were available.

Seems I owe you gratitude for more than just this blog and your contributions to my life in the circus. Thank you for your service.

With utmost respect,
