God Bless your sweet Father & all Veterans today. I know how much you miss him.
wonderful post... ready about your Dad, how blessed we are to have these men in our lives. While my husband was stationed in Europe, we had the chance to see the Ardennes cemetery/memorial in Belguim. It truly silences you.
