Taking my mom who is 81 to my dads grave and see her cry just kills me. He was shot down in vietnam flying the f-105. I was young at the time and all I have to see of him are pictures .

I'm sorry to hear about that, all I can say is how proud I would be of your father to make the sacrifice he made to serve and protect his country.

I'm sorry you have to go through that, but thanks for having a great Dad that gave the most!

Thank you all that have served to keep our countries safe and free!
