Welcome home, Sergeant Hardy. It's been a long time, but now you can rest in peace.

Not many 22 year olds look like that today.

Just another in a long line of American heroes!

I grew up in the 50s and 60s. I’ve thought so often recently that most of our dads were ww2 and/or Korea veterans.

I never gave it a thought back then. In the factories, shops, schools,coaching our sports... They were just our dads,right?

Now at age 74, I finally realize they were more than just our dads. They were heros for their military service and bigger heros for being dads who carried on as best they could with their youth interrupted.

May he rest in glory, and his brothers who served.
