On this Father's Day and with the recent D-Day anniversary, I just wanted to post this about my dad... [View all]

He was a WW2 veteran who fought in Europe and was wounded in Europe.
He took this picture of the Howitzer he was in charge of. I don't have any information about where this is except he said he was in France and Germany.
I don't believe he ever got over his war wounds and the Army retired him.
He died at a young age, 47.


To all our dads who fought the fascists and Nazis we remember you today.
May we have the peace that you believed you won so long ago.
