Happy Father’s Day everyone!

My dad is a remarkable man.  He is the father of two, and a devoted husband.  He is also retired Army officer of 23 years.  His encouragement and guidance have helped me determine and soon achieve my goal of becoming a member of the United States Coast Guard, as well as most other achievements in my life.  I am proud that he is my father, and can only hope to be as fine a man, officer, and citizen of this country and world as he is.  Thank you, dad.  Happy Father’s Day.
