What a wonderful way to do my first post here.
God Bless your Father.
I had dinner tonight with MY hero. Omaha beach 6 June 1944.
Made it all the way to Bastogne before stepping on a mine, made it back, raised a family, never wanted to discuss anything until a few years ago.

When I saw the picture of your Dad I did a doubletake, looks so much like my Dad, down to the walker

He was 93 last October, we don't have much time left. He is so proud, mind is sharp, body is cashing in. He wants out with dignity. Soon.

I hope this helps you in some way Dan. It helped me.
