Ingamae  OMG. I love your daddy just from reading this post!!!!! My daddy is a retired Lt. Colonel and is a MARINE who fought in VIETNAM as well. It wasn't until I got saved at 29 five years ago that I finally appreciated what the military does to ensure my freedom. It makes me cry actually as i type this. God loves the military. I love them and bless them as well. Bless your dad massive!  07.02.10 - 1:51pm
