My dad was one...

He got his commission in July 1945, so he just squeaked in, but he got the WWII ribbon.

He was a good man. He was, and remains a hero to me. Not because of his military service, but because the way he conducted himself as a man. He was honorable. I miss him so much, and wish I could talk to him again.

One day you shall, God Willing. (Meanwhile, you’re needed here.)

That’s a really nice photo. Where was it taken?
