“Old soldiers never die, they just fade away” was something I heard my dad say on more than one occasion.

Dad was a soldier, father and a survivor. Being raised during the depression he use tell me how he often ate only after the adult workers ate. He gave me talks of how to never give up and hang in there no matter what. He was tough and taught us how to hold our heads up high. He didn't believe in living the soft life he was a very humble man and taught me to stick to the basics of life. He served our country with honor and influenced many people on how to make it in the world. We will always...
