I served in the US Navy during the Korean war as a Fire Control Technician, and I met my wife at my last port: New York City.

After that, I went to work in the Defense industry, graduated from college, and my wife and I happily raised four kids.

I'm now retired, and two sons have served in the military. One son is retired from the Navy and another serves in the Army -- he's had two tours in Kosovo and two tours in Iraq.
