My Father-in-Law was a true hero. He, like all others of the “Greatest Generation,” never talked much about his experiences during WWII. However, on those rare occasions when I could get him to discuss his service, he was very “low key” about it – just like my Dad, also a WWII Navy veteran. Those of us who have followed in our father’s footsteps owe them a debt of gratitude that is beyond description. Thank you “Dad” – I honor you and the sacrifices you made for me even before I was born.

“For those who fought for it, Freedom has a flavor the Protected will never know.”
It is very difficult to define what a Patriot is, where they come from, how the grew into the person they became. All we know for sure is they all loved their country and have sacrificed more then anyone will even know or understand. The best we can hope for is to have met them, listened to their stories, and found the slightest hint into who they really were. Each one of them has a story and all of the stories are different. All we know for sure is God has blessed us with their presence and we are all the better for them.
God Bless this PATRIOT.
Mr. & Mrs. Wonderful
