His dad, a Marine, died a month before he was born.

I'm gonna bump this because I think it speaks volumes about the sacrifice that our men go through...

the boy will never know his loss. He will grow up thinking it is normal he has no Dad even though other kids do.

Sad picture.

It also speaks volumes about the sacrifice their families make.

That baby could have been my wife back in Viet Nam.

Amen to that.

My cousin was born a month before my Uncle Danny, for who I am named, came back from Vietnam. My mom said that the second he stepped into his house he had her in his hands, and started crying, just wracked with tears of joy that he was able to see his first born daughter. He didn't let her out of his sight for a few months and said that he would never leave her/them again if he had any control over it.
