Viva Veterans Day! Ode to my Daddy





So, I wrote in an earlier post how I got a new Daddy. http://chrissyandkeetygo2mexico.blogspot.com/2009/08/torture.html )



Well, besides being a very good father, he is very good at many things that I am proud about.



Today I just want to bring your attention to his service to the U.S. Air Force.




My Dad is a perfectionist. Not in a controlling bad way, he is perfect in all he does.






It does not surprise me that he was an awesome crew chief. He is so handsome in this photo. ( that is him shirtless, talking to the fighter pilot) I did not see this photo until last year when he posted it on Class Mates. After I commented on it, I received 2 framed copies along with his dog tags.




Immediate crocodile tears.




I had to hug him and rush out with the photos clutched to my chest. Tears now.



I don't suppose many girls get the honor of praising their Vietnam Daddy's. Most of the Vietnam Vet Daddy's are either dead or worse.





I consider myself Blessed to have this Daddy, let alone one that I can be so proud of.










For this any many other reasons.






Happy Veteran's Day Daddy. I love you sooo much!

  2. Thanks Leslie and Babs.
    Not only is he a great Daddy, but he is a wonderful husband to my Saint of a Mother. That is the best gift a child can have is to have parents that love each other so much.
