Hey Pop.

Very impressive: both picture and food-for-thought. As a man who never had a gun in my hand, nor had a gun faced at him, everything I have to say about the matter might seem gratuitous. We in Holland still love our saviours, that I can tell you. Those were in fact mostly Canadians and Poles, but in our opinion it were the Americans who saved our bacon. Heroic looking man, your dad! Almost Earl Flinn-like.
Totally dashing! And what a resume! And that mustache! Your old man was totally cool, Steve. As was mine, in a mustacheless way. WWII seemed to bring the dapper out of everybody!
