As a LEO he manned the thin line on the homefront war against crime. As such, he was a Brother Warrior just in a different battle to all Servicemen fighting foreign battles. Honors to him.

I salute your father. In 1964 I joined the Air Force and my first assignment was with the Security Police Squadron. I ended up with a 30 year career. May your father rest in peace.

Thank you so much for inviting me to this cyber Memorial for your heroic dad; I'm honored to be here with others to commemorate his life and service to God and country. He must be very, very proud of you. You are carrying on a very great heritage and legacy indeed.

I heard a poignant sermon illustration on the radio yesterday about a teenage football player whose dad died. When the boy returned to the team and to his first game after the burial he begged the coach to put him in the opening line-up, a thing he'd never asked before. The coach hesitated, because the boy was not one of the best players on the team, but he relented, feeling sorry for him with the passing of his dad. To everyone's surprise, this boy played his heart out, and played better than any other member of the team that day, making his personal best showing ever on the field. Afterward the coach asked him, "Did you play in memory of your dad today? Was that the difference?" The young player responded, "Today I played for an audience of one. You see, my dad was blind, and today was the first time he would actually see me play the game."

I bring that illustration to your thread to remind you that your dad actually sees more now than he did before, and you can bet he won't miss this tribute you've made.

Wonderful tribute, SoldierDad. May God continue to bless you and your family.

SD, I am in awe of, and so grateful for, your family. Where would we be as a nation without families like yours?

May God continue to bless you and your family.

Bless you, SoldierDad. It's hard to lose someone you love as much as you did your father. I know that YOU are the same kind of man and father he was. Love, Mxxx
