Hey Doom, My wifes grandfather (listed in post) , her father (also deceased) , my step-mother's father (RAF fighter pilot in WWII also deceased), my father's dad, my father, mother, 5 uncles, 2 aunts, 6 cousins have all served this country in times of conflict and peace. Some of them are still active duty or reserve. And if I'm not mistaken at least one of them is currently assisting in Japan. Show some respect for a man who put his country before his wife and newborn daughter to retake the only american soil to be occupied by a foreign army since 1845, have his bomber shot down and its crew captured and placed in a Russian internment camp in Siberia for over 9 months. And remember this, along with the members of my family, the millions of servicemen and women past and present who put the Flag and what it stands for ahead of their own lives even if you don't agree with the reasons at least they were willing to die to protect those ideals. I pity you.
Bloodsky my wife and I thank you and the rest of Navyfield community for allowing us to place the Obit. in the forum and the respect you and others have shown him.
