The Best Uncle
Tom Perry Acton was not only the one of the bravest men in the war, but he was the best uncle anyone could ever ask for. Right after he volunteered to go back to Vietnam, I asked him to shave off his mustash for me which he did. He would have done anything for not only his family here, but for his brothers in the USMC and for his country. I love and miss him so much and I am proud to fly the American flag each holiday in rememberance of not only him, but all who died or were injured for my freedom.
