What's this?

God bless your father. I bet he knew he was playing with house money


the last 70+ years of his life. My grandfather, who just passed away at 92, just missed serving in WW2, but made the army his career and served in Korea, Vietnam and various Cold War hot spots as a military advisor. I think men like your father and my grandfather have a unique perspective to truly appreciate life and know that each day is a precious gift not to be squandered.
