    This is a beautiful tribute that is touching on many levels. I especially loved the poems you chose, and I admit shedding a few tears as I read them. Excellent work here.

    Spectacular lens, I just love it, the pictures, the stories, love them, he certainly is a hero. Never a true word has been spoken "leaders of countries and politicians had to actually do the fighting instead of the poor soldiers who do, there would be many less wars." I would have for sure requested a game of golf with your father had we known each other, it would have been a privilege for me to play with such a distinguished gentleman... I salute your Father!

    Your dad reminded me of mine. He was in World War II also, and served in the Pacific as a demolition expert. He never really talked about his experiences, but he liked to watch war movies. At his funeral, a man came over to us and was crying. He said he was alive because my dad had carried him out of the jungle. My mother never even knew about it. He was also would fix my bike as well as all the other kids' bikes. This was a lovely tribute to your dad.

    Very lovely and inspiring lens of tribute to your dad. While my dad wasn't in service (heart murmur), he's still been my hero. He's almost 90, mom has dementia, and he's been her caregiver for several years. Now he has CHF, and I've been blessed to assist them both daily (no siblings, but have help). I recently told him, that as bad/scary/humbling as it's been; I wouldn't have had the opportunity to get to REALLY know him as I have this past year. I've been blessed by what I've seen and learned! Thanks again for sharing your heart. 5*, fanned, faved & rolled. :-)

Thank you for sharing this with us.

    This is beautiful and heartfelt...I was drawn to it today, perhaps because this month it's 4 years since my father passed...he also served in Korea for a while, and passed in 2005. I feel like it was only a short time ago. I did a tribute to him at my website, but have felt for a while it may be better to do a lens, and may just do that one day soon. Beautiful.

    Great lens. My dad was 17 when he went into WWII and he got shot almost dead on a battlefield when he was 18. I don't believe he ever really rejoined the world completely after that. He wrote a little memoir before he died, maybe I'll put it on a lens some day. You were lucky to have such a great dad for so long. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks so much for the beautiful story of your dad. My father too was in WW11, He was a medic and saw some hard action: he was in the Battle of the Bulge among other battles. He was very humble about his service. He said that he had earned only "The Good Conduct" medal, and when he died we discovered that he had received many more: including a Bronze Star. We must realize the toll that war takes on its soldiers and their families. After I became an adult, I learned that dad had been severely "shellshocked" and I had to be hospitalized for depression. There was not much that they could do with that in those days so he stayed depressed and we did not have the dad we could have have. He also could not go forward into any type of medical career because it was deemed that he could not deal with the stress. I always thought he deserved a Purple Heart for that wound. However, we must be thoughtful - I agree the Iraq war is a terrible destructive waste and should be ended soon. Thanks Dad.

    What an appropriate lens to be reading on Memorial Day weekend and I can only imagine how honored and proud your Dad must be looking down and seeing this lens about him. Congratulations on this wonderful tribute to your Dad and Happy Memorial Day weekend.

    A beautiful tribute to your Dad, OUR Hero. I think that all the men and women who serve our country are our heroes. Lensrolling to my Flag Day and Freedom Fest lenses. This is a wonderful lens filled with emotion.

    You did a great job recognizing your dad here. It struck me, too, that he was going to turn right back around for another three-hour trip without any hesitation. Beautiful. Love his photo there in the kitchen. Such kind eyes.

    What a great tribute to your Dad. I loved the story about how he would always drive you everywhere no questions asked. Very impressed with him speaking so many languages - I'm always a little envious of people who can speak more than 1.
