Thank you for your father’s service.

I wonder if he said anything when the USS Phoenix went down as the last ship at Pearl Harbor to be sunk in combat. She had the unlikely fate of being sunk in 1982 by the British, as the Argentine General Belgrano.

Awesome. Not all daughters respect their Dad. So, I bet he was proud as heck for you too!

My father had two sons and two daughters, all of whom loved him very much. I am one of the sons.
