I'm taking advantage of the impending cool front to make the 260 mile run to Homer, LA to wish my dear old dad a happy 90th birthday.
The old man is on the clock and waiting to be called.
For those who are aviation enthusiasts, he was a member of VMF(N)533, the most decorated night fighter squadron of WWII.
During his time in the Marine Air Corps, he flew Corsairs and Hellcats
He was a winner of the Navy Air Medal and The Distinguished Flying Cross
When he was offered a chance to return to service and fly jets in Korea, he opted for Seminary and served his church faithfully for over 50 years.
I'm real proud of my dad and I will miss him when he's gone.
