👍 My dad swore me to that oath 50 years ago this year. I still fall under that obligation 50 years later.

My dad did the same for me 34 years ago. He’s since retired from the practice of law, but at 86 years old, he’s still a fighter pilot.

I noticed, as a youngster, my dad would get a tear in his eyes whenever the National Anthem was played...He served with Patton’s Third Army in WWII...

I realized why he got this tear when I returned from Vietnam in 1969 because I followed right along with the tears...

The swelling of pride in my chest and the overwhelming feeling of love for the country and flag does things to patriots all....
