I keep my Dad in my heart
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I could list all that my father achieved in his life and the many people he knew but that would take a book.
Dad served in WWII and for a while afterwards was a missionary in the Philippines.
They reactivated and stationed him in Japan in the early 1950’s. He stayed in the military for twenty-six years and we moved to many bases throughout his career as a chaplain. Dad had a chest full of medals (called salad.) Sadly, I’m denied access to them so I can’t list them here.
Upon retiring from the military, he began a ‘new’ career as an Episcopal priest. We moved a couple more times.
I have very few pictures of him and those that I have I treasure.
Although you are gone for fifteen years now, I always keep you in my heart, Pop.
