In Honor of my Dad

[Deleted]

My dad loved this Country, He loved it so much that he Dedicated 27 years of his life Defending it, He Defended it with Honor and Passion, He did 3 tours in Vietnam. As most Vets, He didn't talk much about Nam the bits and pieces I would hear was when his Nam buddies were around.

I lost My Dad on 29 Aug 1997, At the age of 61, That day was the only time my wife saw me shed a tear, I lost my best friend and HERO that day, and now some 15 years later ( as of next weds) I still think of him EVERY day and Miss him.

Thanks Dad for help mold me into the man I am today. I LOVE YOU!!!!

Ed, words are beside me....RIP Ed W. Lovell Jr.

All pics of my dad when he was in the service, were lost when our house burnt down in the early 70's.
