Dad wasn’t an officer. He was a lowly Navy seaman.
He didn’t earn a purple heart or any special commendations.
He was a young, nineteen year old kid that loved his country. He was proud to serve…proud of his fellow servicemen.
Dad didn’t do anything memorable, but he gave 100% every single day.
He still has a picture of his ship, the USS Stickle, hanging in his home. If asked about it, he enthusiastically relates story after story.
His parents had been proud of him. My mother was proud of him.
So am I.
This gentle man went on to give 100% to his job at Allied Signal.
He also gave 100% to his family.
He’s slowing down, now. He and Mom live in Assisted Living.
We all have a lot of great memories because men like my Dad gave their all.
100%
Christ was—and still is—his example.
