[QUOTE="Re-Raise, post: 4880653, member: 16501"] One final story about my dad on Memorial Day. He is a Korean War vet that worked in a chemical unit that placed smoker pots on the front lines so that the smoke would provide cover for advancing tanks. He took some shrapnel but got out of the service pretty much unscathed. A few years ago he went on an Honor Flight to Washington DC with a plane load of other Veterans. I went as one of the “helpers”. If you have never been to the Arlington National Cemetery.. I can tell you it is very hilly. The bus parked at the bottom of a hill and we went up to watch the guard at the Tomb of the Unkown Soldiers. I was taking turns pushing wheelchairs up the hill and dad asked me “Do you want me to push a couple up?” I sad “No dad! They have people for that. Just go sit down and wait for me.” Im blessed to have him still around for this many years! [/QUOTE]
