My dad did the same for me 34 years ago. He’s since retired from the practice of law, but at 86 years old, he’s still a fighter pilot.
Colonel, USAFR (Ret)
I noticed, as a youngster, my dad would get a tear in his eyes whenever the National Anthem was played...He served with Patton’s Third Army in WWII...
I realized why he got this tear when I returned from Vietnam in 1969 because I followed right along with the tears...
The swelling of pride in my chest and the overwhelming feeling of love for the country and flag does things to patriots all....
