You have our sincere sympathy for the loss of your Dad. That generation truly believed that a simple hand shake or a persons word was much more binding than some paper contract. Prayers sent for your support.

I too am very sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds like your dad was an amazing guy and I'm sure you'll always be proud of him. I appreciate his service.
I know that one day I too will be writing such a post. My dad was a violent disciplinarian and I was afraid of him and avoided him like the plague when I was young. Because of this I didn't really have a releationship with him until I became an adult and he mellowed out a LOT. Now I call him every few weeks and we talk for an hour or more. While I know I've learned a lot from him through the years I regret the many things I could have learned from him if we'd only had a relationship when I was younger.
Father's are very special and the memories you have of your father will always be with you; hold onto them and cherish them. It sounds like he was of the generation that still lived by and taught values, morals and ethics as well as the many other skills you need every day of your life. These will always be a a part of who you are so, in a way, your father will always be there with you.
It seems you have someone important to remember today, Memorial Day.

I am sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and your Family.
Keep your memories close and write them down so you can pass those memories onto your kids etc.
Writing down on paper can also help you get through this difficult time.
Your Father sounds like a true American Hero.
RIP
The more the greatest generation dwindles, the more we have to resolve to pick up the slack.
This country was founded as a place for men to be free, but for a very long time it really wasn't. In some ways it still isn't.
There is no one color of skin that has the market cornered on laziness, ignorance, greed and hate. From guys that fly the confederate flag and make up excuses to cover what it meant, to others that wear their pants too low and think the world owes them something.
If a thousand of them could be traded to get your father back, it would be one hell of a bargain.
sorry for your loss.
my grandfather served in Africa with the Signal Corps. never had any stories to tell other than arriving in Italy to see Vesuvius erupt.

Sorry for your loss. But it sounds like you had a father that was proud of his country despite how it may have treated him. It takes a great man to do that.
