At the Air Force game last year, they had Navy veterans stand up decade by decade. . . there were not many left but my father was proud to stand among those that served in the 40s. The woman that was sitting next to him the whole game, chit-chatting away, had no idea. She just stared up at him in awe.

I am not a fan of a bunch of friends going for I-day, it is a very long, confusing day. [In the entire day, you only see the new plebe for about an hour, at the end of the day.] Immediate family, however, is a different matter. Although grandfather did not go on I-day [he went on PPW], plan on a LOT of water, have a plan for rest stops, bring a portable chair with you.

By the way, grandfather is going to Herndon!
