Buried my Dad today. 1929 to 2017 Korean War Vet and then a self made millionaire. I knew we were having the military send off and that they would fold his flag. I figured my older brother would receive the flag and I'm good with that. What I didn't expect was to be presented his uniform. What an honor. I found a five hour pass in the pocket of the Jacket from 1952 which was when he was being discharged. Pretty awesome. Can only imagine what he did for those five hours.

I asked my dad one day that if the reason he was the tank commander was because he enlisted instead of being drafted. He said "no it was the process of elimination." I think he was third down the line of command.

RIP Dad
Wow, Condolences Phil. My dad is also a Korean War vet . Born in 1927. He will be 90 in September. It is sad. Knowing I will be going to his funeral before long.
