Today is my Dad's Birthday

My dad was born Aug 9th, 1920. He was a farmer along with his Father and brothers. He served in the Navy as a Machinist Mate 2nd class on the USS Thompson a "Destroyer" from 1942 to 1946.
These pictures are of my Dad with his Sisters in his cute little Navy Suit.

This is a picture of my dad on board ship after winning a boxing match. He is in his "quarters" and you can see how tiny the bunk spaces are. That would have driven me crazy. My Dad loved kids and always had fun with his nieces & nephews and great nieces and nephews, and most of all me and my brothers.

This is me and my dad and as you can see we have the same big nose. I had the greatest dad ever. This is my tribute to my dad on his birthday. Happy Birthday dad and thanks for all the great times.
