My Dad, My Hero


As a child my dad taught me to work hard, try my best, and never give up.  As an adult he continues to teach me this and so much more.  He is an example of bravery, strength, and endurance.  Nine years ago he was injured while on government assignment in Afghanistan.  Following his injury I was astounded by his courage and conviction.  He wanted to stay and keep fighting for the cause and principles he believed in.  No matter the suffering, he wouldn't give up and let the enemy win.  He would fight on.  Every day of the last nine years he has endured great pain, yet he continues to fight and never gives up.  He is an example to me of strength, courage, and endurance in the face of great trial.  Happy Father's Day to my Hero.
