My dad died on Memorial Day a few years ago. [View all]

Fitting since he was a proud WWII vet. He served in the Pacific near the end of the war and he was in one of the B-29 bombers that flew over the aircraft carrier while Hirohito signed the peace treaty. He had some great stories about his days stationed on Guam.

Miss you dad!
