Thank you, Dad.

He was one of the brave ones who stormed Omaha Beach on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Remember the scene in Saving Private Ryan where our guys landed on Omaha Beach? My Dad was one of those men. He is, without doubt, the greatest and finest man I ever knew.

He went to Heaven in 2004.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

A salute to them all.

Today is an awesome reminder that freedom is not free. Others have given their lives that we might live.

America's true heros deserve remembrance, a special thanks to them and their families who love and miss them.

Posted this in another thread. I served with Chad. This popped up in his memorial page a while back. Also remember Brandon Robinson. I was with him from Boot Camp, all the way through deployment and EAS, he killed himself this past December.
