Wow. Thanks for sharing your story.

Incredible your father was a WWII veteran. My grandfather also worked his butt off to get a YG DD. When he passed, he have it to my father, and will come to me someday. That is he man that inspired me to get a Rolex some day.

God bless your father, may he rest in peace.

To be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord.

It sounds like he lived a full life, was happy, and has a good son.

My condolences. You will be with him again.

I hope the decades of fond memories will soon supplant the pain you're feeing now. He is now part of a rich family history that you can continue to pass down to succeeding generations.

I salute him for being part of the Greatest Generation that fought for, and preserved, our freedom from tyranny.

Sorry for your loss. Lost my dad a WWII vet last June. He was 92. Getting his 1960's submariner serviced now so I can wear it. Don't know if I will ever get over him gone

Sorry for your loss. IMO your father is part of the "Greatest Generation" that ever lived. They truly sacrificed everything to preserve the dream. And in you, his dream lives on!
