A Man of Character

There once was a young man living in Canada by way of Scotland. Years later, the Vietnam War started, and people were fleeing to Canada to escape the draft. So what did this man do? He left Canada, went to the U.S., and volunteered to join the Marines. He spent two tours in Vietnam.

All you need to know about this man's character, about what type of person he really is, can be summed up in that paragraph. He did what needed to be done, when he had no reason or obligation to do so. And he is, and will always be, my hero.

 Happy Birthday Daddy.
