In His sovereign plan for my father’s life, God allowed Dad to serve in—and live through—two wars: Word War II and the Korean Conflict. In Korea, he was a navigator in a B-29, serving with the US Air Force. Though I try to call my parents every day to just chat and see how things are going, on Veterans Day every year I call for one purpose only: to thank my dad for serving our country.
The service that these brave, courageous, and loyal men and women have demonstrated deserves our gratitude today—and every day.
