Veterans Day

...honoring my dad

My Dad served in the US Army during World War II.  Stationed in California, he was about to be sent overseas when he got a serious bronchial infection and his unit shipped out without him. Not long after, with things winding down, he was ordered to serve out his enlistment at Fort Ord in California. It was during this time that he met and married my mom. After discharge from the Army, he went to Auburn University on the GI bill. I was born before he graduated. 

Today we went to the cemetery to put American Flags on his grave.

My thanks to Dad and all the other veterans who serve and protect our country. 

Blessings,
Ken
