i buried my father, a 20 yr marine, on weds. he was a better marine than he was father and maybe that's why i'm focusing so much on his career? he earned many awards, ribbons and medals. he has five medals from viet nam alone, including two purple hearts. he also attained a good conduct medal with stars. he was a fine marine. for some reason i want to shout that to the world. if he failed at much else, he more than succeeded as a marine.

that's all i have to say right now. i may have to say more later. i dunno.

thanks for reading.
