Memorial Day

One thing I owe my father* without issue or qualification is a deep respect for the men and women in the armed forces. On this Memorial Day, I would like to express my profound gratitude for their service, as well as for the sacrifices they make for it.

* An old Navy man, he coped with my voracious reading at the age of 7 by giving me a copy of The Bluejacket's Manual, which I devoured.
