My dad would have been 99 in June. He and my mom have been married for almost 75 years! Omg that is a long time! He was in very poor health so this is a blessing really. He was on hospice and they had just taken him to the in-patient facility. -- One of the few remaining of the WWII generation. -- The photo from his Navy days has that "aren't I a cool dude" look to it. lol. I think they all knew how good they looked in their uniforms. He met my mom while serving on a submarine, when he was on shore leave in Australia. And funny enough my father-in-law met my MIL when he was in the Army stationed in Germany. He also looked debonair in his uniform. lol   |

Sorry that you have lost your Dad but dang what a long life he lead and aren't you blessed to have had him for so long:). 75 years is impressive, mind boggling impressive. The memories that both your Mom and you have must be huge. Your Dad looked sharp in his uniform and I like your statement about how" aren't I a cool dude". I never really thought of that and need to go look at my Dad's military pic from back in the day:)
May the days ahead be filled with great memories.
