You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know you can count me out
Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
We’d all
love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you knowWe’re doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate

All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you’ll change the constitution
Well you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution

Well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don’t you know know it’s gonna be alright
Alright Alright

I hope y'all don't mind if I honor my Dad on this day with a big ol' vanity post. 

These are pictures of my Father. USMC - 2nd Marine Division, during WWII. Except for the portrait the others were taken by him or, of him, with his camera. The quality is not the best because they are scanned. He was a Professional Career Marine -25 years. He survived WWII, Korea, and as a civilian advisor to the Laotion Army and Air Force from 1963 to 1973. He was 89 years old when he passed away.

The picture below is of my Father (right) and his younger Brother. I believe it was taken on Tinian, Mariana Islands. His Brother had been wounded and was recovering when they met up for this photo.

This is a picture he took of the Second Marine Division Cemetery on Tinian, Mariana Islands.

I am not sure of the location of this picture of him. It could have been Korea.

This is a picture of my Father and Mother before they got married. They met while he was stationed at Treasure Island in San Franciso. She was a telephone operator.

He is on the right in this photo.

This is me (right) outside of our main hanger, in front of our sandbag bunker in DaNang 1972. USMC VMFA 232   F4-J Phantoms.
