That's so cool brink - nice to know your Dad is one of my brothers. We're fairly serious about that bond. Regarding the poppies - I bought one yesterday on our way into Sunday Mass up in NJ at my sister's home parish. I didn't really notice but I'm pretty sure he was a VFW guy ? Anyway I'll ask my sister when we speak again because it's sitting on her dining room table... Guadalcanal, wow ! Someday when our paths cross you'll have to tell me his story. Semper Fidelis !
