I appreciate your service, Thadd.  Every red-blooded American does.  Sorry about your Dad.  I lost my Dad a few years ago too.  I helped him build up a pretty good body shop and still can't work on cars/trucks without thinking about him.  The way I see it, every time you do something to be proud of its a tribute to what you learned from him.
