I'm sorry for your loss and thank you for your father's service :us:

Best wishes
 
damn, sorry for your loss man.
i dont think we can thank men like him enough :us::patriot:
 
Sorry for your loss.

Rest in peace brother.
 
My condolences Dan. It is never good for a little boy to lose his father no matter how old that little boy is.
 
That's quite an impressive record. My sincerest condolences. I think it's safe to say we're all proud of your father's efforts to bring sanity to a world gone insane.

I didn't have any relatives serve during WWII, but my father was put in a German workcamp (a coal mine I believe - he nearly died there), and my great uncle was in the Polish Resistance.
 
Sorry to hear of your loss.
 
Thanks!

My dad I'm okay with. He lived a long life and it was time to go. As for the 34 year old young man who lost his life early Thursday morning, I wish I could find the rewind button.

I was involved in this incident just 4 days prior to my father's passing;

Train vs anything else train wins. People that don't heed the cross bars are not your responsibility. Hope it all turns out ok for you.
