The screen was blurry the entire time it took to read your beautiful post. Honor and glory and eternal gratitude to all our wonderful vets who have preserved and protected our beloved Country and to those who are doing so now. What a Blessing that you and your family were able to be a part of this magnificent experience. And how Blessed you are to still have your Dad!
After seeing the faces in the Louisville airport upon our return, there is a glimmer of hope that the Eagle WILL rise again. She has seen tough times before, but we each need to be Rosy Riveters and do our part.
