I apologize for the lack of
updates, but I lost my Grandfather last week who was basically like a Father to
me. I served eight years in the United States Air Force, and I was always very
proud and humbled by my Grandfather's service to our country. At the outbreak of
World War II, he worked on building B-26 bombers. He was later drafted into the
United States Navy and served as Petty Officer 2nd Class aboard the USS Heed
which was a mine sweeper in the South Pacific. He saw action in Okinawa and the
Mariannas. He was a great, loving, and compassionate man and I will miss him
terribly!
