Veteran's Day

Going to high school during the Viet Nam war,
I probably said some things in front of my father that I should not have said, about
armed forces,
military presence,
and war.
 
But in my case, with age came enlightenment.
 
I hope he realized that.
 
My father served our country
 
With pride...
 
For his family...
 
and for the family he didn't have yet.
 
For me.
 
Although I have many friends who are veterans,
although I lost a few due to war...
 
My dad will always be my favorite!
 
I sure miss him!
