My dad swore me in as an O-6 USN in the summer of ‘67. Yes, I too took it very seriously and still honor it today. A blank check signed by me and by you to the USA. Thanks for your service.
I hope my service is done. If not, then I am ready to do my duty. I followed in my father's and grandfather's footsteps, passed that tradition on to multiple children, and expect to see grandchildren in uniform some day.
