Did I ever mention Dad was a vet?

Did I ever mention Dad was a vet? I should have. He didn't spend a lot of time bragging but he was proud of it. He was part of an anti-aircraft gun crew on the USS Saratoga (CV-3). That could be him with his back to the camera for all I know. Why is it always too late when we realize we should have listened more and asked more questions?

Happy Veterans Day, Daddy. I miss you.
