Description

This is a picture of my Dad, taken several years ago. He was almost 90 at the time. I have posted his photo before, a WWII vet, fought overseas for three years, a tough and noble American hero. Thank you to all Veterans who served so selflessly, to all current military men and women, and especially remembering those souls who did not come home. Thank you for your bravery and sacrifice.

Gord and Reynaldo, thank you very much! You know, in the last year my Dad lost his mobility, a few teeth, failing vision, but the warrior spirit remained as strong as ever. I have such admiration for our Veterans. #11657351
