He would have been 88 on the 19th of this month. He was an Iwo Jima Marine.


This was taken in Sasebo Japan after the occupation.

Strikes close to home, Jim. Mine just turned 88 mid-March. he was in Europe mostly in WWII.

Prayers for peace and strength. A salute to your Dad and all who served and serve now!

Prayers sent for comfort. Mine died when I was 2 and it still hurts.
But his bow will remain steady, and his hands will be skillful; because of the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,  (Genesis 49:24 [NETfree])

Prayers for you and Yours and bless your Dad's heart. His place in heaven is secured - as we so often say, he already served his time in hades.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with bible in hand and loudly proclaim...WOW...What a Ride!!!
