For his 10 1/2 years of service to our country in the US Navy. His love of his country shows with every Flag he sees or song he hears about his Country the -USA !! He salutes all flags he sees when traveling and even though wheelchair bound, will struggle to stand when the National Anthem plays.
In Honor of His Service To Our Great Country!
