What a handsome fellow your dad is!
Great photo's! I love the older picture! It always amazes me how serious everyone looked in those days!
wonderful pictures..they are great!!
Great post! :) I'm so thankful to all who have served and are serving. :)
The only soldier I know was my uncle who spent 10 years of his life in Siberia when he was 15 !
I hope we all look as well as DaddyBoy does in our 90s! Please tell us what he does and we need to do the same thing!
Thanks for sharing those beautiful pictures with us. My parents have similar of my grandparents serving in WWII.
This is a poignant representation of our veterans.
Thank you - hugs and love to you.
I finally get to see a picture of your dad! He is a good looking man.
I'll call you later this evening and fill you in on my weekend. Things are looking better...finally!
And a note to Swampy: Why "BITE ME"???? I didn't mean anything bad!
Wow - I am really enjoying everyone's Fun Monday responses. What a great post! And your Dad looks terrific at 90 - I hope I look as good at that age!
Great way to honor Veteran's Day. Thanks to all in your family who served and are still serving.
Wonderful photos....thanks for sharing. At 90 years old, he looks still, might spry!! Fabulous.
Mine's posted...scroll down to the last of my Monday blog. See you there.
I love the fact that you posted his pictures ALL through the years. Amazing group of gentlemen who came from THE GREATEST GENERATION !
My, that's a lot of medals hanging on your nephew's uniform. Thanks for including his photo. He certainly deserves accolades, too. The Reserves play a very important role in our military.
Great photos, If your Dad is still with us, please say thank you for serving. Thanks for sharing and God Bless
Your dad has a wonderful collection of ribbons. He looked marvelous on his 90th.
Thanks to your dad and nephew for serving!
What marvelous family photos and how lucky you are to have your Dad still with you. This is a lovely tribute. I didn’t have time to post earlier today, so I’ve included a ‘belated’ Fun Monday in an ‘early’ Tuesday post at Small Reflections … just because.
Hugs and blessings,
Sorry if I left two comments here - but I just wanted to make sure to say how lucky you are to have such wonderful photos that chronicle your family's dedication! Thank you so much for sharing.
Great post, you Dad set a good example.
Yes, your Nephew counts as a veteran, the reserves is the new active duty...great pictures
Service seems to run in mine too. Loved the picture of "DaddyBoy"!
Thanks for visiting me and your kind comments! I love the pictures you have shared.
