RIP to my father, 1924-2003.
A 3 war Marine and a true patriot who loved his country.
He may have retired 38 years earlier, but he was still a Marine the day he died.
I have his dog tags and his K bar framed and hanging on the wall and I think of him every time I walk by them.

Spooky. My father lived from 1925-2002 and was a Marine in three wars. Wonder if they knew each other?

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
