Your dad was an entrepreneur at heart! What a creative thinker and determined young man.

Man, that link gets my goat.

Our church honored all veterans yesterday. I can’t help but get weepy eyed seeing all those young to old soldiers standing. There was a perfect video and heart-tugging music and everyone FELT SOMETHING – even the cold at heart.

And yet, today will they remember again?

That’s what I wonder.
We are still praying for the military here.

Great story.
Greater man.

When my parents came to the conclusion that my Grandad’s time was ending, they make several trips with the video camera to record his stores.

I have yet to watch them, but they’re there whem I’m ready.

Kudos to you for encouraging your father.

I agree with Mary Alice — how great that you’ve gotten him to write down some stories, in whatever format.

How wonderful that you are getting at least some of his stories recorded and told. Thanks for sharing….also…I too have spent hours shivering at the bottom of a C-130 on a Space-A flight over the Pacific…geez louise, it gets cold!
