So grateful for his service to our great country! My dad was a WWII vet. Left his tiny hometown in AR. at the age of 18 to join the Army and soon found himself in Japan. He was a man of honor, dignity, and great character and instilled in me a deep love for my country. I miss him so much!<br /><br />If you get a chance...stop by today.

Your reminder of what they did/who they are has inspired me to make a call of thanks. He'll dismiss it and say we should be thankful for everyone else's sacrifice, but it will do us both good to be thankful for what we have in our own family!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771913913727435049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-60154157065962836912012-11-12T09:54:15.045-05:002012-11-12T09:54:15.045-05:00what an amazing man and father!what an amazing man and father!Lynn Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349867270815243053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-19797749040026207362012-11-12T09:37:05.153-05:002012-11-12T09:37:05.153-05:00I send a thanks to your father...
