That’s one I’ve used before, but it’s my dad’s graduation photo from Officer’s Candidate School. There’s no denying that the military had quite an impact on my dad’s life.

So today I remember my father. my uncle Jack, my not-quite-an uncle Harry, my cousin David, my great Uncle Jack (who served in the Red Cross, but close enough to the fighting for me), my cousin Dick who died in a training accident in WWII, my great, great uncle Henry (WWI Army), my great Aunt Mary (nurse in WWI), and my great, great, great grandfather who served in the Missouri Volunteers in the Civil War. To these Veteran’s and all the Vets I’ve never known, that you for your service.

Now, I’m celebrating my going to Disneyland – have a good day everyone.
