Just realized this will be my 1000st post... (or essentially what tosh would call "a slow week")..
Appropriately it's Memorial Day... so I'll toast my dad, who went ashore on Omaha Beach and now rests in Arlington. Best role model any kid could ever ask for!
Hope everyone is having a great holiday! Respect to all of those who wear or have worn the uniform.
Ok, as ilovestouts already knows, I could fill this page with my dad's story, 3 Bronze Stars (technically a Bronze Star with 2 Oak Leaf Clusters).. five ETO battle stars from Normandy through the Buldge to Germany.... and a recognized liberator at the National Holocaust museum. My dad was beyond a hero...and that's just his service record.It seems that we post pictures of the beer we drink everyday in these threads. I think today we can buck the trend. We can share any stories we have of people we knew, or didn't know, that gave their life for the U.S.A.
I'm still working on a growler, so no new pic, but here's a story of a man who graduated from my high school 1 year after me.

RIP Sgt. Deluzio. Thank you.
