Changes
Those of yall who know me will noticed I changed my avatar from the 101st[my unit in Nam] to the 100th Inf Div symbol. I've done that to honor my Dad who was with them thru France and was captured during Operation North Wind:the southern arm of the Battle of the Bulge. He was a Pfc FO and spent 10 days holed up in a barn in Rimling, France fighting as infantry until he and those with him were faced by Tiger tanks. He was a POW until the end of the war. He stayed in and served in Korea and went on to serve until 1964. I'm lucky that he is still with me. I fly a 100th decal on the windshield of my Harley and a patch on my vest. My small effort to honor the man who taught me about love of country and service. xgrunt

Neat
Hail the one hundred! That's a great move. Really glad your Dad's around - spend lots of time with him.
In WWII my Dad was on several different boats but Uncle Joe was in the 25th. I'll fly the Electric Strawberry for big bad Joe. Stay healthy, Andy

What a fitting
tribute to a hero of the "GREATEST" generation!
Treasure him while you've still got him around my friend. I lost my father shortly after my return from Vietnam. He never got to see his grandchildren and they lost the opportunity to have his wisdom, love and companionship that they should've had. You are a very lucky man. And, without a doubt, so is your father to have a son like you.
