My prayers are with you.
To: TheRightGuy
Being that you are now here, fighting for freedom and truth in the Free Republic, I see a family tradition forming. Your father is most certainly proud of you and fully realises now what you are doing here. In fact, he knows better than you do now the full impact of your efforts. People here on this forum don't fully realise what is accomplished here.
This will be the best Christmas he ever had. And now he needs no wings of steel to fly.

Major bump for a true Patriot and his son, who I know first hand is a true Patriot.
God bless you and your lovely wife and family in this time.

God bless you and yours at this time of sorrow at the passing of your father.
My father has a biography that reads a lot like your father's with respect to his service to this nation in World War II combat (U.S. Navy LCI Commander in the Pacific) and his commitment to it for decades following. He has been close to death several times over the last few years and the thoughts and prayers of many friends on this forum helped us through those times.
I know that your father is in a better place now, serving with distinction. I know you will see him again.
All of this reminds me of a saying a like to apply to my father:
"If I can be half the man my father was, and raise my sons to be twice the man I am ... I will have contributed greatly to society."
Again, may the Peace of God, that passeth all understanding comfort and keep you and your loved ones.
To: All
Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers.

May God Bless your family over this holiday as he has in giving you such a fine father for all these years.
Mine has been gone for over 30. He, too, was a WWII Army Air Corp. vet stationed in New Guinea for three yrs. returning home diseased and permanently affected. But he raised 7 sons and ran his own business until his death.
I blame the heart attack at the age of 51 upon the 3pak a day habit. (Hint, hint.)
To: TheRightGuy
I am sorry for your loss and I know you will miss your Dad. Carry every memory and all that he taught you in your heart, for he shall ever be a part of you. May God wrap him in His arms and pat him on the back for a job well done.

Thank you for the lovely post, and may God bless you and your family.
I lost my father, with a similar story to yours, on Veteran's Day, 2000.
It's hard, but his example will never leave you.

Goodness, forgot this part! We moved to s. Cook County in 1960, and my mother still lives in Flossmoor...

Here's to one of the good guys!

Ping for running and not being weary....
For five generations our family has always said the 121st Psalm before any journey and at the final journey.
