    My Dad passed in 95, he was also a WWII Navy vet (USS Hornet).

    Still miss him and think about him all the time. Greatest man I ever knew. His birthday is next month.

    Dad was born in 08 and has been gone since 97 and mom since 99. I think of them often and do miss them, but no one lives forever. I was wiping down some of the guns a while back, including the P38 dad brought back from Europe when he mustered out after the war. He was 35 when he enlisted and working for Willys doing war production, so he didn't have to go but did anyway. That's just the way a lot of his generation was. Sadly, I doubt if we will see any future generation compare to his. They truly were the greatest. Bob
