Yes he did, that following summer. Then we moved here to Washington State where he retired from the Air Force a few years later.
He had two more careers one as an accountant and then as a professer at Western Washington University. He died about a week after 9/11. He's buried in the military cemetary in Kent and my mothers ashes are buried with him.
My older brother has the flag that draped his coffin.
Sheila, I can't speak for a 'grateful nation' but as one of them, please accept my thanks for the sacrifices of your father and family. I'm grateful.
