My dad is gone now,lost him the day before Easter this year.He was on the Enterprise one of the times it got hit.My dad only talked about it a couple of times.One time was shortly before he died.

He talked how he could see the man's face in the plane that was coming crashing into the ship.He saw alot of his buddies die.

My brother who served in Vietnam as a paratrooper,volunteering.he was serving in Germany,safe,a trainer.He felt it his duty to go to Vietnam.At one time,I remember we couldn't find him for 6 months,the Red Cross had to track him down.He was out in the jungles.

I have an uncle,my dad's brother,retired airforce.

To the men in my family who served,thank you.

For all other men and women,thank you so much!!

God Bless our Vets and troops!
