Today, we'd like to honor our favorite combat veteran - our dad! We've shown you one of our favorite pix of him - this one ...

| Dad and great brother Booter, 1991 |
... in previous Veteran's Day posts - but today we have a couple different ones for you!
Here is Dad in front of part of the Brigade he commanded; they were getting into formation for the 2nd Infantry Division (2ID) Change of Command Ceremony back in 1995:

That was at a place called Camp Red Cloud, Korea. [Mom was out in the stands somewhere - and great brother Booter and great sister Lucky were back at Mom's place in Seoul (Yongson Army Garrison), holding down the fort.]
Here's another shot of Dad with the Commander of the Korean Service Company (part of Dad's brigade):

That was from where Dad lived - a place called Camp Casey, Korea.
We're very proud of our Dad's service in the Army - and that he is a combat veteran. Here at Ao4 HQs, we understand that freedom is not free. We thank all of our veterans for their selfless service, dedication to duty, and their courage. It is because of these men and women that we enjoy the great freedoms we have today. They are the strength of America.
Veterans - past and present - we thank God for you and pray for His blessing on each and every one of you.
With respect -
Zim and Dave
And our mom

Those are great photos! I was hoping to go to the Veteran's Day parade here (which I thought was tomorrow, but apparently is today), but it got rained out. The wind is blowing so hard right now I just heard a tree limb crack and fall, scary! Anyway, happy Veteran's Day! I loved the post. :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post and tribute to your Dad. God bless our veterans--and their families too!
ReplyDeleteYou should all be so very proud of your Dad. Remembrance Day as it is called here is very emotional for my Jeannie. Sorry we don't blog so much as we used too but it was lovely to view your blog today and such lovely proud and brave photos of your Dad. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you to your dad for serving; I had an uncle that fought in WW2 and well remember how it impacted him.
ReplyDeleteWe are so blessed by those who give so willingly. I say Amen to your blessings on our military.
Hugs, Noreen & Hunter
