To quote country singer George Strait, "There's a difference between living and living well."
Sir, your father apparently lived well, as has the rest of your family and ancestors.
All Freepers and all Americans owe you all a debt of gratitude and our sympathies are with you today.

My father, too, was a larger than life career Army officer.
When he died, 12 years ago, I was an Air Force officer stationed at the Pentagon. Surrendering his retired Army ID card to the Army personnel shop was one of the hardest things I have ever done.
I had him buried at Arlington. Later that day I went to the O'Club at Ft Myer, bought a round for the bar, and toasted his memory. I then drove across the river and did the same thing at the Bolling AFB O'Club, where I was a member until I retired a few years later.
His death left a hole in me that I have never managed to fill back in.
My condolences on your loss.
To: Paratrooper
I'm sorry for your loss and appreciate your father's devotion and sacrifice to this nation.
God rest his soul and grant you and your family peace. He is home, in God's hands.

My father is about to turn 88, he served in the Navy during WWII. We are so blessed to have American Men who were so unselfish in their protection of our liberties. My concern for your family comes from the heart.

From one Army Brat to another. My sincere condolences.
My dad passed away in 2002. My Dad retired in 1968 as a CSM with the 82nd Arbn Div. after 24 yrs of service to this country. WWII, Korea, & Dominican Republic action.
Our old soldiers are leaving quickly these days. I miss him too.
