I Am Married

My adoptive father was . His worst issues were men dying while following his orders . He was always well respected among other veterans in the community . Men actually stood when he would take me to lunch at the restaurant where they all hung out . He helped many of those local guys who suffered from ptsd or had been seriously wounded . He was always feeding someone at our table at home . The only time I saw him tear up was when they played the national anthem or “ America” . I learned a lot about the Marines , but he never talked about his combat experiences.
