My father was injured and couldn't go (he tried!), but my uncle was on a destroyer in the Pacific theatre. My husband's grandfather was a surgeion in a MASH unit that operated underground in some Pacific islands. <BR/><BR/>I'm thankful for my father, too, in that he taught me all about how much a father can love a child. It set me on the road to having a good relationship with God because I understand the love of a wonderful father. My dad had tremendous integrity, a good sense of humor, a keen mind, unswerving loyalty, and was the perfect gentleman. Yep, I'm a Daddy's girl, and my father died 35 years ago this past August. Like you, I miss him every day and my mother, too. But oh, how grateful I am to have had wonderful parents! I can tell you feel the same! :-)<BR/><BR/>XO,<BR/><BR/>SheilaThe Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244312641135825556.post-63798754170042955752009-04-03T10:50:00.000-04:002009-04-03T10:50:00.000-04:00What a very handsome Dad.
