60 is too young to die, I'm sorry you lost him to early. My Dad died at 77 in 2001. I to had to prove my worth and once that happened he was a diferent man all together. It was just the way it was and the way they were taught. Dad was all over the South Pacific, Phillipines, Si Pan (spelling), Guam. Wherever they were buliding something. He was welder by trade and the Navy taught him well.

I think it is a dang fine honor to be tied to the greatest generation of Americans to ever live and I'm betting you feel the same way.
