Strikes close to home, Jim. Mine just turned 88 mid-March. he was in Europe mostly in WWII.

Prayers for peace and strength. A salute to your Dad and all who served and serve now!

Keep the Son in your eyes!

Prayers for you and Yours and bless your Dad's heart. His place in heaven is secured - as we so often say, he already served his time in hades.

Semper Fidelis - from one old Marine to an older one who has gone on before.
