My father was a true hero, serving bravely and honorably in multiple wars. He was the recipient of the Purple Heart. He was injured in his face and both hands. His sacrifice and dedication to his country will never be forgotten. As his first-born daughter, I shared a special bond with him that will always hold a special place in my heart. His legacy lives on through me, my sister Kathy, and the generations he leaves behind.  
I gave him two grandchildren and they gave him 6 grandchildren.
