On this day I remember my Father and what a good man, a hard- worker and Fantastic father he was. My father was always there for me. It was my honor to take care of him. He taught me the love of nature. How I miss him so. You are in my heart always.

You are now relieved from your post. A job well done fellow veteran. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. You have marched your final hike down the dusty trail. Taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Farewell. A Navy Vietnam Veteran.
