To my Father a WWII veteran who fought alongside General Patton
Camp Shelby Mississippi is where it all began,
the transformation to a soldier from an unassuming man.
Soon thrust into a battle to preserve our country's rights,
enduring cold, hunger, fear, and distance from his wife.
He stood tall when called upon, and always did his best,
and never once you heard him brag about the medals on his chest.
Honor, commitment, loyalty, and the courage to stand tall...
I reflect upon my Father and the gift he gave us all.
