    Re: Which branch of Service served in?

    Dad:

    Loved mechanical things.
    Loved the big guns.
    Loved to shoot big shells at things knowing he only needed to get close to score.
    Had a turret to hang out in.
    Felt secure in a sturdy Hull.
    Hated mosquitoes, and willing to risk shark bites.
    Dad never thought about jumping out of a perfectly good airplane.
    Called me "MEATHEAD" when I joined the Army.
