Snow, if this is a Hero thread, I have at least two(2)...

as I sit here and type, I am looking at two signed photographs...

one is of 'Father Duffy' and the other is of 'Colonel William "Wild Bill" Donovan'...

my Pop-Pop (grandfather) served with them in WWI in the world famous...

Fighting 69th - 42 Rainbow Division

I had to serve with that kind of family history...

my old man was a Marine, but he quit the family when I was 6 months old and so...

between spitting in my old mans eye and chasing John Wayne...

I joined the United States Navy!!!

Nice to see you, Nitro, this day of prayer for our troops and our President. Thank you to "Father Duffy" and "Wild Bill Donovan" and your Pop-Pop for their service to our country in the Fighting 69th - 42 Rainbow Division. And thank you to you for your service in the US Navy. God bless you all.
