I don't know how many of you actually knew my father but I will tell you something about him.

He served his country in the military for more than thirty years, from Korea to Vietnam.

He was one of America's most decorated soldiers.

He was nominated for the Congressional Medal of Honor, but was awarded the Distinquished Service Cross instead.

He was awarded five Silver Stars, six Bronze Stars with V for valor, four Bronze stars without V for valor, and eight purple hearts.

He was a big man, a strong man, and the best father a son could have. I respected him and loved him dearly.

He left a rather extensive inheritence and a self sustaining foundation that will provide educational grants for the orphans of soldiers that died in battle.

He requested that he be cremated and instead of being buried in Arlington he wanted his ashes spread in Korea, and I will abide by his wishes.
