Jesse,
That was incredible. It's amazing to me that we see men like your father going around every day doing their ordinary tasks (shopping at the super market, driving to an office, pumping gas, etc.), and yet at one time in their lives they willingly sacrificed more than anyone could imagine, and were indeed, larger than life. It gives me a greater appreciation of those that have worn the uniform of our military. What an inspiring account, and one I hope finally brings your father his well deserved recognition. God bless him and those he served with.
Merry Christmas to you and your family,
Paul (geegee)
