My father was a Hero to me. He by no means was a perfect man thru his life, but later on in life he was a good christian man...He had a rough life, but came thru it with a great attitude and he left this life as a good Christian Man. For that I am especially proud. From growing up in the great depression, to being drafted at 18 years old to fight in 5 major battles in Europe in World War II, on to working Construction, and opening his own Auto Parts Store. I am very proud of all my Father taught me. And it will be expressed here. This is just a drop of water in what I hope ocean of what I hope to share with everyone.
