Having just left a Manchester funeral home to arrange to have my Dad laid to rest tomorrow..I was so pleased to see this thread & to honor him and all Veterans...

He was a proud WWII veteran who at the age of 18 landed on Normandy shores so that you & I are free... in his late years we listened over & over to the same story and listened once again as he repeated it to the next ear that listened...I will miss hearing that story now.. & I pray you do be patient & listen to all vets & their tales as they are truly hero's...

My Dad, My hero, will be laid to rest with full military honors in the morning & I will make sure to Thank them tomorrow. The following day the 13th would have been his 85th birthday.

Happy Birthday Dad.& Thank you.

My Proud Veteran Dad is Ralph Holt.
