For an active can't-sit-still-type-of-kid, he sat riveted, his eyes wide as I read your story. (I "censored' just a little during a few of the graphic parts.) Your father's story seems to have touched more than one generation of minds... I shared some of your story with my eight year old son.

One thing I didn't put in the story that was funny: That newspaper photo made my dad semi-famous. Trouble was, they listed my auntie as my dad's wife instead of his sister-in-law. [You can still read the caption under the picture.] Finally home, he was lookin' to have some fun with the gals. His cheeks were crimson from all the ladies who’d seen his picture in the paper, slapped him, and said, "Fresh! Your poor wife!" The guy couldn't get a break, y'know? Except in the nose. The one fight he almost lost, his opponent made the mistake of breakin' Dad's nose. He was furious, came back from the brink of unconsciousness, and beat the guy to a pulp! [Hmm. I wonder where I got my gumption???] Next week, we'll take a more fun approach with the piece on my I Ain't Quittin' Child. Until then, miss me. This is the Mominator. Out. Thanks for all the support.

My dad was one of three men who made it out of his platoon in the Korean War alive. One of three. I sincerely believe it was because God's hand rested on his head, as it did with your father's.
