Help me understand my father, who I never understood in his life.

To me, it looks like something impressive.

He never spoke of it.

Thanks.

Steve

I finally understood my dad after he and I had a heart-to-heart talk .
After I came home from 'Nam . He saw service in the South Pacific during
WWII .
We both did things we weren't proud of , but they were things that needed
doing .
