Your dad, and your uncle, helped save my country and liberate a continent.
They have my thanks.

Their time has passed and along with them their sensibilities. These were men who put it all on the line to fight for what they believed in.

G'day!
|
Thanks for sharing and God Bless!
You have much to be proud of. My Dad, who passed away at age 48 of a brain tumor, was a 20 year Navy vet who also served in WW II and retired as a Lieutenant. I wonder if they knew each other. Dad would have been 98 this month. Please give your uncle a hug and handshake from us.....

Please tell your Dad that a complete knucklehead of a Navy veteran, 37 years his junior, would have been honored to be his Shipmate, hopeful to have met his standards.
As well: Fair winds and following seas to your Uncle, SC. They would both recognize the same level of excellence, sacrifice and service that those serving today, around the world, exhibit. Their legacies are being honored.
