Happy Veteran's Day!

Caelin had the option to do an extra credit opportunity to honor a Veteran in her life and she chose Papa.  We called Nana to get more information and she sent us many snapshots of Papa from when he was in basic Army training in 1969 at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.  Papa served for 6 years in the reserves and achieved the rank of Sergeant. His honors included: expert sharp shooter, best platoon machine operator, and hand grenade specialist.  The picture quality is not the best as Nana was quickly taking pictures from her cell phone and texting us, but I smiled as most of these pictures I have never seen.  I cannot wait to be home in a few weeks at Thanksgiving to see the scrapbook Nana made for Papa when he got home from service.  The pictures made me laugh as you can clearly see Dad's fun loving and sometimes naughty attitude.  Miss you Daddy and thanks for serving!  Happy Veteran's Day to all who have served.
