My father would be fine with me showing Mo1's father respect and admiration, and his opinion means one hell of a lot more to me than yours does - got it?
Lay off.
I don't give crap what you think. Get back in the kitchen if you can't hack it. Once again since you appear to have missed it the first time, Why?. Why are/were you impressed?.
Respect and admiration for those who have sacrificed is commendable.
Or is it simply a poor choice of words, if that's the case, buy a dictionary and a thesaurus. Next time you talk to a WWII or Korean War vet, ask them if it would be appropriate for you to be impressed.
