This tribute is in Honor of the Father-In-Law I never met. The father of my dear late husband.
Disabled Vet, Passed away in 2007 in a Florida VA Hospital
He served in the Korean conflict, was in U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard. Was proud to be an Americian.
My father-in-law is a Veteran of three wars. He served in the U.S. Coast Guard during WWII, the Korean Conflict and the Vietnam War. His ship "Tanney" was credited with saving the power plant during the attack on Pearl Harbor. He is a soldier that deserves to be honored!
Frank has served his country for over 20 years. He is a military retiree as well as being active in the veteran community. He was Director of Maine Veteran Services for almost eight years and he was appointed by President Clinton to the Board of Directors of the National Veterans Development Corporation. He is "true soldier" in every sense of the word. I honor him and every American soldier for their service.
I am voting in honor of my father, Francis A. Harding who in spite of being too old for the draft, on hearing of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, joined the US Army in 1942, made Captain (Infantry) and served in the OSS in Europe until discharged in 1946.
A young man I only knew a few years but his friendship and memories as young men growing up on a farm live deep in my heart, 45 years later. His family were my mentors.
He was the man I remember growng up. He was the most wonderful dad I could ever have. I will always remember him as my hero for fighting World War II. I just wish we could have another chance just to let him know how much gratitude we have for him. We love you and miss you very dearly.
I would like to send my thoughts and gratitude to my Grandfather who served our country and fought for all Americans. He was the most wonderful person.W e still love you and miss you very dearly.
I am so proud of my dad. He survived being in Pearl Harbor. He is such a good man and I love him very much. He would like to go back to Hawaii again and I wish he could.
