Yeah, I was thinking about him as well.
Today is my Dad's birthday. He's a Marine who spent a year and 1⁄2 flying choppers in 'Nam back in '67. I found his medals once when we were cleaning out his mothers house. One of the items was an 8 X 10 frame with a shit load of little gold and silver stars pinned int it, he said there was a silver star for every 10 missions he flew, and I forget what the gold ones were for.
I never really thought about it before, but today it struck me, that he could have died over there-and I never would have been created.
I didn't ponder the thought for too long, but I'm glad here's celebrating his 61st birthday today.
Happy Birthday, Dad!
