Way cool. Grateful for your dad's service, as well as those who recognized same. Pity the folks who made the quilt couldn't figure out how to spell 'medal' correctly, but the sentiment is very much appreciated. *5* bronze stars? Just what the hell did he do with that dozer, anyway?
Our families share some American history. My paternal family was locked up in WWII too. Grandma, grandpa and their three kids, including my dad, who is the last one still alive at 85, spent the war in a desert prison camp, courtesy of Uncle Sam. He spent his entire career designing stuff for the DoD to kill commies, too. F'king disgraceful what happened back then. Heart Mountain for your fam'? Gila River here.
Happy that there are still some patriots left, and thanks for sharing, HC.
