Your dad and my dad...they were indeed the greatest generation...I miss my dad very much, he was buried six years ago the day after Veterans Day in Arlington. I always think of him this time of year. November, clear, windy and gray. It just seemed to fit him, Navy man that he was.
I can't get over the emotions that kerry's remarks have stirred in me. I haven't slept. I just want to strike back in the only way that I know how. With the keyboard.
Thank you for your kind words.
Go Navy.
I miss you, Pops.
