Last night I made a trip to MN because my father was honored. You might remember a while back my dad gave me all his military stuff he didn't want it any longer. I posted a pic and a bunch of you helped me identify what he had and was missing. He was missing a bunch. So my mother and I went to the Veteran Service Center back home and after 4 months of screwing around and planning it all came together. Last night he had his annual Legion steak fry and we surprised him buy giving him all his "costume" jewelry all done up and gave him some credit he was long over due. He was very surprised and a bit and very emotional over the whole thing. He was forced to speak for a minute and all he said was I didn't do what I did to get these medals, I did it because I had to and it just needed to be done. My friends who didn't make it home didn't get to have these. It was very sobering. He was very happy with all the attention none the less. The Legion Commander was there and all the family and all his brother Legionnaires too. It was a great night.
I attached a couple of pics, the one in Nam, he is the one sitting on his butt. (second one in from the right) Just wanted to share!
