My Dad has been walking or should I say marching in the Armed Forces Day Parade in Bremerton for probably 5 or 6 years now????? He looks forward to this event every year. The Military personnel salute, shake his hand and thank him for his service . Big burly bikers do too. Ladies come out from the crowd and give him a hug. He likes that. People want to take his picture or want to have their picture taken with him. He loves the attention he receives, but most of all he loves his country and that he was able to serve.
Our family is proud of my Dad. He is a wonderful example of living. He is faithful in all things. He tries everyday to do what is right and be on the Lord's errand. He is always a missionary. Sharing the principles of the gospel with the people he works with or for. He is a Master of the scriptures, and is prayerful over all things. Even his daily work. He can tell you endless stories of praying over lost tools, solving an impossible work task and even finding work etc...
You know he will be 90 years old this Thursday and is still working.
Happy 90th Birthday Dad!

Lora Peterson said they saw him marching yesterday, and we're always sooooo impressed that he still fits into his uniform! Your dad is awesome, and I can't believe he's going to be 90. He has more energy than anyone I know!
