I remember the day my father passed. I called my mothers brother and told him of our loss. His words were "Your dad was one good Fucking Marine". He ran our home as a USMC boot camp and I thank G_D everyday. 5th.Marines Okinawa and than Japan occupation. Thirty years as a L.A. County Deputy Sheriff. Took care of a sick wife and raised three kids. I watched him put his first son down in the cold, cold ground in 1968 with full military honors. I pray everyday that I would be half the man he was.

I am crying at the wonderful stories so many people have of their fathers. Most people had a good Dad from what I have seen. My Dad raised me to speak up and stand tall and be a good God fearing person.
