O God, by whose mercy the faithful departed find rest, look kindly on your departed veterans who gave their lives in the service of their country. Grant that through the passion, death, and resurrection of your Son they may share in the joy of your heavenly kingdom and rejoice in you with your saints forever. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

God be with you, your Dad and family, and sorry for your loss.

[Pat4ever]

Your dad sounds like mine. They never made a big deal of their service-mine was also a WWII vet. They just consistently did the right thing. God bless our heroes.

Thank you all for the kind words on my Dad's passing ... I'd respond to each of you individually but am having some trouble with waterworks happening in my eyes right now ... this wasn't an easy post to write and certainly ain't an easy post to respond to ...

Dad was buried at Calverton National with full military honors ... playing of Taps, US flag draped coffin, folding of the flag, and we brought in a Bagpiper to play "Amazing Grace" ...

Once again .. God Bless my Dad and God Bless America .. don't know what else to say

Prayers for your family.

MM,

God bless your dad and you and your family!

You can be proud of having a dad who cared about our country and wanted always to do his duty in preserving our freedom! That’s not often the case these days.

Obviously, he did a lot of things right.
( judging by the son he raised)

Thanks for sharing,

god bless your dad

He was with my Grandpa at Leyte Gulf. My grandpa served on the Carrier USS Hancock. Through all the big attacks she took. And saved other ships from too.

You have my deepest sympathies. I still miss my Dad very much. Your dad and mine were part of a generation of honest, hard-working men and women. They did what they had to do and didn't expect the world to revolve around them. May God comfort you as He has comforted me.

[Gay State Conservative]

Agreed.Your Dad,my parents and many,*many* like them are owed *so* much by this country....but fewer and fewer of us believe that.Your Dad,clearly,is a member of The Greatest Generation.

[Amberdawn]

I miss my two uncles and one grand uncle who served in WW II. Your tribute was very nice. God Bless him. I send my condolences on the loss of your Dad.

Soldier rest, Gently pressed,
To the calm, Mother Earth's
Waiting breast;
Duty done, Like the sun:
Going West.


Thank you for your service Sir
