i would like to thank all of you for your prayers and thoughts. my father was a wonderful man. he was so courageous, intelligent (too much for his own good), and so damned funny. he has made me who i am. i only wish that the intellegence would be passed down through the father's side.
he was so proud to serve this country and even prouder to be a marine. i think that i am the proudest of him. when i would march in the Veteran's Day parade in the band, he would be at the front of us as pointman. he will always be MY pointman. i am blessed to say that i have had 25 wonderful years with him. i loved him more than anything and i always will. my favorite picture of him is in his combat gear.
i look forward to seeing some of you at the arlington services. July 7th at 11:00 am.
my mother (dad's first wife), brother, my boyfriend and i are all going to dc on friday to go see things that dad would have wanted us to see before the services.
my beliefs tell me that when dad entered heaven his vietnam buddies welcomed him home..............
thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers,
jennifer kernodle (daughter)
