My dad was a navy man, during the Korean war era. Tough as nails, but a real softy on the inside.
He went to visit the Arizona memorial in 1977 with my mom. Dad was so anguished, by the site, that he became ill, he thought it was just the emotional impact. That evening he had a massive heart attack, at age 49. He lived, but was never able to work again.
I wish I could say this more eloquently, I know Opi could do a better job, but my point is, the admiration fellow military feel for each other, is beyond compare!
I'm sure Elcookstra could elaborate.
Thanks to each and every one, who has served in our military, for your service to our country!!
