This is my dads uncle Charlie!! I grew up listening to some of his stories, he was such an amazing person. His farm is still my favorite place in the world, so peaceful and beautiful.

bless you Charlie

Thank you for your service, Charlie. We appreciate men like you. I don't know if you're still kickin', but I certainly hope you are.

I had the privilege of interviewing a WW2 Pacific Theater submariner in 2014. While sitting in a waiting room at a cancer clinic with my dad I saw this man wearing a WW2 veterans hat that said "WW 2 Submariner" I walked up and asked if I could speak to him and talk about his service and he was happy to. I was in the presence of excellence. What a wonderful American.
