Thinking of our fathers (and mothers) who served our country is a daily experience for us but so much more on Memorial and Veterans Day. Thanks to your father for serving for his country and family. Great photo.

Oldest daughter, Maj USAF and pilot, just arrived this morning in the Gulf for her 5th tour. I think she said it was a 16 or 17 hour flight.
