A Great American

My Dad.....I am so blessed to be the daughter of the most loving and gentle man. He is retired from the Army, injured jumping as a paratrooper and was a M. P. He was in Vietnam, that was a year in hell. I wish you could meet him. I will always be his army brat!! Do you know a hero?

My Grandfather. (Hey, he can have two posts!:D)

He is simply my role model for what a man should be. He is loving, kind, and always is ready to diffuse any situation with a joke. :cool:

The type of person that will run you to the grocery store the night before Thanksgiving if you find yourself without the makings for green bean casserole - without a single complaint. (That really happened:blink:.)

So many great memories - that it is hard to pick which to share.

Hope he has a great Veteran's day.:wub:

My uncle, Smitty, Helo pilot killed in the Tet offensive in Vietnam, and on the wall in D.C. They never found his body and was he declared MIA for 7 years. 58,000+ promising lives wasted following the orders of their government. Heroes all.

My Dad, Richard Radford. Served in WW2, Korean War and received a Purple Heart. Joined a Veterans group after he turned 80, and it helped him talk out thoughts and memories from those long-ago battles.

It has been just over a year since he passed away, but I know he's in a better place, smiling down and appreciating his fellow Veterans today...
