As a kid, all I wanted to do was fly. The Air Force was
gonna be my life. My dad served in Korea, and is very proad of being
a veteran of the US Army, Greenbare,, Special Forces, Airborne Unit.
Of course, that was before I was borne. After his 2 terms there, he
came home, met and married my Mom. Anyway, back to the military.
When Dan and I were kids... my Father was in the Navel Reserve. I
actually toured a Submarine when I as ... I don't know.... 6 yrs old.!?
Anyway... way too small, and toooo much water!! No Navy for me!
But then my Dad joined the Maryland National Guard. He was Airborne,
and I have old Super8 movies of me gathering his shoot after he'd jumped
out of a chopper..... pretty cool when you're 9 years old! Every kid
thinks his Dad is a hero... but my hero jumped out of Helicopters... and
that .. noboday could top! That is until we discovered a picture of
my Dad in an old Funk & Wagnalls Standard Reference Encyclopedia under
"ARTILLERY". He doesn't really remember the photo being taken, but
there he is,.. holding a bozooka behind a stone wall. (That picture
is coming!) |
