The only time or two I’ve ever seen my dad cry hard, like ugly face cry, was at the Vietnam Memorial. He was in Turkey during Vietnam when he was in the Air Force. But he had a LOT of friends and others he knew that fell in Nam. I’ll never forget being a kid maybe 10 years old and touring DC, having a blast learning and soaking in the history and monuments and then coming to the Vietnam Memorial and me and my mom and brother hanging back and watching my dad look for his friends names. That was 31 years ago. My dad passed in 2019 before all this Covid bullshit and everything and on one hand I’m glad he didn’t have to witness all this but on the other, I need him now more than ever. I digress but this made me think of him and that moment in my life. Thanks fren. God bless you and God bless the USA and those who fell protecting her and us. ?????
