This is a sad day for me… Today would have been my father’s 87th birthday. Unfortunately he passed away on Friday, January 30th. We didn’t see eye to eye on many things but he was and still is my hero.<\/p>\n

Like many of his generation he was a veteran of World War II, he served with 709th Military Police Battalion in Paris and later the 351st\u00a0Engineer Regiment. Over the last few years he’d been visiting local schools and talking to students about his experiences during the war<\/a>.<\/p>\n
