I'm now in my late 50's. I lost my Dad almost 2 years ago. He was my role model. I am the man I am today because of him. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him.....it was an honor to know him and have him for a father.

Please remember all the vets and current military who sacrifice so much for our freedom.
