I am remembering my dad today. If he had not been wounded on the battlefield in Vietnam, he would be here today.

He was an amazingly gentle and humble man who became a Marine by choice and he died a Marine by grace.

As I remember and honor my dad today I am keeping my mom in my thoughts and prayers as not a second of every day she doesn’t think of or miss him.

He touched many hearts and lives of those who were blessed to know him for he never met a stranger.

Time and death separates us now, but Heaven will reunite us one day.

Until then, God blessed me with many memories that keeps him close at heart
