Happy veterans Day Dad

The older photo is my father on his second rotation cruise home 1972 from deployment in Vietnam. In the background is his F4 phantom

Later the picture of me as a youngster is in front of his tomcat on the tarmac when it was Nas Miramar AKA fighter Town USA and he attended top gun there.

It was a little bit later on that my mom actually met my step dad who was also a Navy veteran

So despite many of my downfalls or character flaws as you can see serving our country has been one of our families core beliefs for a long time. Like my uncle Vincent said once we come from all different walks of life but we believe in our God whatever it may be. And we definitely serve our country. We believe that it cannot always be someone else's son or daughter as they say. Raise the hand. Here I am send me
Happy veterans Day Dad thank you for bringing these along today and reminding me of that
