Celebration of my Dad's Life

[finless]

I thought I would share as I am a proud son of an amazing father.

One of the last of the "Great Generation".
WWII Vet. Marine 1st Medical Battalion, Big Red One, Kazarine Pass.
Re-enlisted in the Navy after first purple heart.
Bronze Star, 2 purple hearts.

I say so long to a man that gave us so much freedom!, and gave me everything I have and know!

They don't make men like this anymore!

I am honored to have a Father like this man. I will see him later........

:agree:

You sir are a worthy son.

Thank you. I try to know and understand the sacrifices that gave all of us what we have today.
My Dad did his best to not make an idiot! While I have not served myself, understand that I know what was placed before me and I give thanks to all that allowed me to have the life I live today!

Freedom was not free!

I lost my uncle (whom I hold the middle name of) on the beaches of D-Day. Lewis was my Dad's best brother and the loss was hard.

It is a shame to me when I see people take what they have today for granted forgetting all that was given to allow them to be free.

A fitting sendoff for such a man. It was good to hear the laughter during the ceremony. May I add...

The tide recedes but leaves behind beautiful seashells
on the sand
The sun goes down but gentle warmth still lingers
on the land
The music stops, yet it echoes on
in sweet refrain...
For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains.

A man is best remembered by his deeds, and his children. Your Dad did good in both counts. RIP David A White.
