Absolutely and thanks for asking, Paul.

Here's a couple......

Last year at our Thanksgiving meal........



And earlier this year during a visit......



I visit her each week at least once or twice. Bring her provisions, work in the yard, attend to whatever needs it. Including her TV, computer, phones, and some administrative stuff.

She only stopped driving a couple years ago. We keep her '08 Taurus in the garage and up to date on credentials and servicing...just in case!

I need to stay up to date on photos so thanks for the reminder. I'll let her know you asked about her. That will make her smile.

Let her know that Captain Morgan (Ret) is a big fan!

My father was an infantryman in WWII.
He fought in the Battle of the Bulge.
He would never talk about it with us kids.

Thank you. Dad passed away unexpectedly in 2018, and you can imagine our surprise when my sister and I found the shirt, the hat, the tags and glasses packed away just waiting to be discovered.

My Dad, Grandfather and Uncle. All Marines, although my Uncle went on to become a Lt Col in the Army.



Both me and my Brother served in the Army.
