My dad was in the Pacific, too. He was in the Navy—navigator. He and Mama are 88.

I can't see the pic of your Dad
Really? It's showing up ok for me, I posted it via ImageShack, they might be having server issues and I'm seeing the picture from my browser cache, sorry about that!
Mine was in the Pacific too ... Lost him in '99
The Pacific was a brutal theatre of operations, despite the images of beautiful islands and palm trees and all that, my Dad started off as a Browning Automatic Rifleman, then it was munitions and blasting Japs out of their caves on too many islands to remember, then he ended up as a medical corpsman, a Jap sniper got him in the right arm in late '44 and that sent him home, even though I'm sure he was ready to keep fighting if necessary.
Bless you Friend, and your Dad's memory for his service to our Nation.

The entire area is amazing & humbling.
Here is the thing that really took my breath away,
the Park Rangers collected everything placed at the Vietman Memorial Wall; they catalogue the item, which panel it was place; what name (if named) the item was dedicated to; and then they place each item in a storage bin.
The Park Ranger I spoke to said they collect items twice a day. And, they do not dismiss any item placed at the panels.

Thanks, I hope so, too!
It’s looking like it will be a little unsettled, weather wise.

I remember when it was called “Decoration Day”, but only because my elders grew up calling it that. =)
Today I met an awesome young man who came home from Iraq just last week. I expressed my respect and gratitude to him. Then I gave him a hug.
He thanked me for my appreciation, and then said: “It’s not such a big deal. I was just doing my job.”
I thank God for such young people. There is plenty of hope for this nation, so long as we have such wonderful folks!
