Burying my father today.....

My condolences. He had quite a journey and made a difference in so many many lives. Blessings to you all.
Thanks for all of the kind word....we're leaving now to go to the service.

2 weeks ago they had a Army Chaplain come in and have a ceremony to honor him for his service They gave him a bunch of awards. He never talked much about it, I always presumed it was because of the horrific things he witnessed over there . My step-mom did tell the story that he was up for the purple heart after being hit with shrapnel, but he refused to get stitches because he was afraid of needles...go figure.
