Today would have been my father's 100th birthday

Daddy was born in Tarrant County, Texas. He grew up in Bowie County. He enlisted in the Army Air Corps several months before the Japanese attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. He was discharged in December 1945, three months after the end of the war. He was stationed at Ellington Field, Texas; Pratt Army Air Field, Kansas; at the Boeing School in Seattle; and on Okinawa. He worked from the time he was 10 until he died at age 69. He loved his family. He raised us kids to be honest. He hated thieves and liars.

(The first post of this somehow got a Dec. 17 date. Today, Dec. 18, is the correct date.)
