3 Years Ago Today

[Old School 3319]

Three years ago today my father lost his battle with cancer from agent orange. He was larger than life to me. He was not perfect but neither was I. Today will be a day filled with memories and bourbon and pipes. My hats of to all the Vietnam Vets who are still living with that war physically and mentally.

Hoy hace tres años, mi padre perdió la batalla contra el cáncer del agente naranja. Él era más grande que la vida para mí. No era perfecto, pero yo tampoco. Hoy será un día lleno de recuerdos, bourbon y pipas. Mis sombreros para todos los veteranos de Vietnam que todavía viven con esa guerra física y mentalmente.

A pipe and a glass in your father's honor Old School!

A pipe and a glass in your father's honor Old School!

This is exactly what I’ll do as well.

May your memories be good ones that bring gratitude for the years you had together.

A pipe and a glass in your father's honor Old School!

Likewise, a pipe and a glass to your father.

Here's to your father.

He was larger than life, OS, and there is no perfect. Bless the 58,220 and those who followed them later.

TAPS is a bugle call. But unknown to most, there are words ascribed to it. One of my favorite verses...

“Fades the light, and afar, goeth day, cometh night and a star. Watch we’ll keep, while you sleep, with the brave”
