I have an idea for a new thread...

[Wyatt Earp]

I wish I could say I understand, but I never will, even though I have also "lost" a father .... even though he is still alive.

 

I was 9, it was quite an experience.

Something that happens it stays fresh in your mind forever.

Newspaper interviews, a funeral with a massive procession where I walked ahead of the other soldiers who attended with more of them and a band forming a tunnel for us to walk through.

 

Having to be at the Union Buildings and the state President calling you and shaking your hand and then he gives you a medal of honor.

Heartbreaking , painful enough to hurt every single time you think about it, but an immense amount of pride that goes along with it.

 

Thus my friend, when someone is a hero, I will see them as a hero forever.

Heroes never die.

I can't imagine having to go through something like that at such a young age. The fact that you remember it so well says a lot. Your Dad is indeed a Hero, and the country is indebted to him and all others like him.
