Todd,
Maybe one day he will share it with you. My father was in WWII in Battle of the Bulge. He was wounded and recieved a bronze star and purple heart.

As a kid growing up I often asked him what he did to get these awards. He would tell me they just give those out.

Any way just a couple years ago he finally was very candid about what he went through. After all those years he was finally ready to share his story.

It was a very moving story to say the least. He was definitely from a special generation.

His and my uncles service was what made me feel it my duty to serve as well. I am thankful there are still men and women feel that call to duty.

No matter what some people here may say it is still an honor.
