This is my first time joining the Blue Monday posts at Smiling Sally’s. Can’t wait to see what everybody is doing this Monday.
In honor of Memorial Day, today, I am posting Navy Blue.
Specifically U. S. Navy blue.
I want to tell you about my father-in-law, Dr. Joe B. Wharton Jr. Dr. Joe B., as he was known, was a Navy doctor during World War II. He served in the South Pacific. One of our treasures is the letters that he and my mother-in-law, Iola Holt Wharton, exchanged during his service in the South Pacific.
During Dr. Joe B.’s service, John F. Kennedy was injured on PT109. Dr. Joe B. was the doctor who attended him. John F. Kennedy and Dr. Joe B. had become friends before Mr. Kennedy’s injury and continued corresponding for many years after the war.
In 1961 The Saturday Evening Post wrote an article about John F. Kennedy’s adventures during the war. They ran the picture below.
Below is the full picture.
That is Dr. Joe B. on the left with John F. Kennedy. The dog had been adopted by JFK and the cat had been adopted by Dr. Joe B. As you can see, they were holding the pet that belonged to the other in the picture. The Saturday Evening Post contacted Dr. Joe B. for permission to use the picture with him in it. At that time, Dr. Wharton had a busy medical practice in El Dorado, Arkansas and never got around to getting back to them with permission to run the picture with him. They cropped him out and ran the picture without him.
There are several letters of correspondence between Dr. Joe B. and JFK during JFK’s presidency. These are archieved at the JFK Presidential Library.
On Memorial Day, we remember. This is just a small story from World War II that I wanted to share with you.
Hope you are all having a wonderful Memorial Day. Don’t forget to take time to honor those who have and continue to keep us safe!

Thanks for this glorious article. Also a thing is that a lot of digital cameras can come equipped with any zoom lens that permits more or less of a scene to get included by means of ‘zooming’ in and out. These types of changes in focusing length are generally reflected while in the viewfinder and on huge display screen on the back of the particular camera.

I have really learned newer and more effective things from your blog post. One more thing to I have recognized is that in most cases, FSBO sellers are going to reject you. Remember, they’d prefer to not ever use your products and services. But if a person maintain a steady, professional partnership, offering support and staying in contact for four to five weeks, you will usually have the ability to win an interview. From there, a house listing follows. Thanks

I have noticed that repairing credit activity really needs to be conducted with techniques. If not, you might find yourself causing harm to your positioning. In order to succeed in fixing your credit history you have to verify that from this time you pay your monthly costs promptly in advance of their scheduled date. Really it is significant on the grounds that by not really accomplishing so, all other measures that you will decide to use to improve your credit rating will not be effective. Thanks for discussing your thoughts.
