That's my dad. Young, handsome, and no doubt scared out of his mind as he was preparing to go to VietNam. Which he did by choice. I am amazed by the men and women who've chosen this path. And I honor them today, especially - but always.
On a lighter but related note, this is Edith Shain, the 90-year-old woman who claims to be the nurse in the iconic photo of a WWII soldier swooping in to plant a big kiss on her lips in the center of Times Square, NYC.

As I look at this endearing photo (taken this week) I can't help but think one thing: Please let my legs look this good at least once in my life. Hopefully before I'm 90.

Very nice tribute to your dad, Laura ... and to all our veterans. I love the picture of Ms. Shain, too.
Love the Dad tribute! And Tina still has it.
You nut! LOL! You just made my day, Laura! Tina is way too sexy for her hose! :-)
Please tell you father "Happy Veterans Day" for me. Like you, I have military men in the family and admire their sacrifices more than I can say. One currently flies into hurricanes! You couldn't pay me all the tea in China to do that. I don't even like to fly, period. I'm a train or boat (preferbably big and definitely luxurious) kind of girl. ;-)
XO,
Sheila
sending big hugs your way.
Wonderful tribute!
I love that photo and would love for my legs to look that great right now!
Love both photos!!! And, yes, I wish I had legs like that, too, lol!

Dang, I hope at Tina's age that I'm still alive and have not only those legs, but the spunky to plant kisses on all those servicemen!!
What a great tribute to your dad - and I wish my legs looked like hers, too! ;)
