Thank you Veterans

If you're near Wolfeboro's Morrisey's Front Porch Restaurant nearing an early dinner time, and if you see an all-white Ford Explorer parked to the right of the entrance, stop by and thank my Dad today. (Or any day, for that matter).

In WW2, he had five PBY patrol aircraft shot out from under him in the SW Pacific.

With two sore knees, he walks slowly, but steadily. He will be there today with his wife, and is a "regular" there. (And doesn't know of my request of the forum...pssst...he has one hearing aid). Forgot...BOTH served in the military!

P.S.: Ask him how WW2 would have proceeded without Admiral Halsey whom, while off-duty, my Dad knocked-out cold!

This morning, Dad says "Hi" to Samiam and says "the help" is doing a super job at running the place!
