That has become my favorite picture...how about a recent one of your Mom, as cool and beautiful as ever.

I wore that uniform back in the day (my favorite)...had not seen one in a long time. Thanks...and thanks for your father's service.

Absolutely and thanks for asking, Paul.

Here's a couple......

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. SmileWavy

Our thanks to all who served...

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.

Thanks to all for your service and sacrifices!

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.
