Description

DADDY WHAT DID YOU DO IN THE WAR I WOULD ASK?  "OH I WAS JUST A COOK" HIS REPLY ALWAYS WAS.

"WHY DID YOU GET A PURPLE HEART DADY" I WOULD QUESTION.  "OH A GRENADE BLEW UP TO CLOSE TO ME."

I WONDERED AND COULD NOT HELP BUT WONDER.  SO I WROTE THE ARMY FOR INFORMATION ON MY DADDY.  WHAT I FOUND OUT WAS NEVER A SURPRISE TO ME BUT SURE WAS TO MY DADDY.

HE RECIEVED 3 CAMPAINGE MEDALS WITH 3 BRONZE STARS AND A PURPLE HEART WITH AN ACORN (WOUNDED TWICE))

Excerpt

HE WAS A HERO IN THE WORD GO.  EVEN THOUGH HE NEER NEEDED THE MEDALS TO BE MY HERO HE WAS EVEN MORE OF A HERO.

'DADDY DID YOU KNOW YOU HAD 3 BRONZE STARS"?  OH YEA, SOME GUY THOUGHT I DID SOMETHING BRAVE.  BUT I WAS ONLY A COOK."

I EXLAINED TO HIM HE WAS A COMBAT COOK.  HE KNEW THAT.  WELL NOW WITH AGE AND MEMORY LOSS, WE WILL NEVER REALLY KNOW THE TRUE REASONS.  BUT FOR HIS 88 YEARS THUS FAR HE HAS KEPT HIS WAR INSIDE. AND MAYBE THAT IS WHERE IT SHOULD ALWAYS REMAIN.

BUT I AM ATTEMPTING TO GET ALL THE INFORMATION I CAN FROM THE ARMY ON MY DADDY.
