11.11.11

This is the Human's Dad, a Marine who fought bravely in the South Pacific during WWII and then occupied Nagasaki after the atomic bomb was dropped. He survived the war and lived out his life as an honorable and peace-loving man. 
He died many years ago, but the Human still misses him and thinks of him with love and gratitude.

Your human's Dad was a very handsome young man. Our thanks to him and all the others who fought so bravely in World War 2. My human Dad was in the Marine Corps Reserves but never had to leave the USA.

Spitty, we are thankful for your Human's Dad who fought for us, and raised a decent Human...except for the candles VS catfudz issue.

Interestingly, I featured a Marine who served in the South Pacific on my blog today! Although I doubt he and your human's dad ever crossed paths.

What a nice, nice post, Spitty. Now my mom wants to post a picture of her dad in uniform, too. You know she'll forget by next year, so we'll just reflect on your post for a bit.

Gentle purrs to your human as she remembers her dad. That woman's dad has been gone since '74 when she was just a young 'un.

Now, Spitty, it's a full moon. Let's run the fangs out, and scare a few out of their skins!
