Seeing My Father In Me

Related Topics: Greatest Generation, Tom Brokaw

Today is Father’s Day. For some it’s a time to buy their dad a present, for some a time to take their dad out for dinner, while others (like myself) it’s a time to remember and honor their father’s memory.

My Dad was a member of what Tom Brokaw called The Greatest Generation, a retired army veteran who fought in the South Pacific in World War II. I’m proud that he was one of those that help defend this country during one of America’s darkest hours.

However, Father’s Day is so much more than what a father did for a career.
