What nice photos, of what a fine occasion. Thank you, Sandie!
Your father looks wonderful, especially with his medal. So proud, and so he should be.
And you look wonderful too! I'd never seen pictures of either of you before.
Please thank your father for me for his service to our country in such a great cause.

Death thought about it.

Nice Pics.
I'll print those off if you don't mind, and take them down to an old mate of mine. He was a Seabee, and was from Oregon originally. Fred married an Aussie nurse and has lived here for years.......they are both near 90yo now, and are the nicest people.
Thanks for sharing those pics.
Wom
I don't mind, go right ahead!
They played the radio announcement by FDR when Pearl Harbor was bombed (the start of the war, for the USA). Later on, they had the old news reel showing the signing of the surrender: the Emperor of Japan and another dignitary for their side, then all the ones on our sides: USA, NATO, Australia, France, Netherlands and on and on it went, lol.

Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful and well deserved celebration! Please give your Dad a hug and a heartfelt thank you from me for his service? During WW II my Dad was at Omaha Beach. If he were still here, I'd share this with him in a heartbeat.
Let's remember our veterans everyday!

Hi, Sandie and Mr. S.! Sandie, I agree with everyone, your dad looks wonderful. It looks like a very nice event and look at all the people in attendance! Thank you for the pictures!
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!
"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

I loved the photos too, Sandie! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful tribute. I agree that your dad looks great, very handsome and distingished with his medal. I love his tie.
I guess all the WWII vets are up in age now. My uncle is 97 and served in the Air Force in Britain, fixing B52's (I think). He can remember every detail of his service. He's still as proud as can be! I salute you, Sandie's dad!
I've been Boooo'd!
