This is my dad at the reunion of his Naval Vessel, USS Newport News. Maybe some of you veterans will appreciate this.

Not a vet either.

I appreciate his service and his eloquent words. Quite the father you have there. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Thank you, he is quite the father. When I used to live on the east coast, I would help him restoring the sister ship he spoke of, and this year is the first reunion that I wasn't able to attend in about four or five years. It's something that I'm glad to be able to share with dad.
