My best friends dad
I grew up with Capt. Garths son. We celebrated his life as we played with his uniforms as kids, never knowing what he had done until we grew a little older. I never forget when I realized why he wasn't coming home at night to take care of his son and daughter and wife, it was the day I could no longer act a child.
I went on to NGC to follow in his footsteps and remember when they built a wall with his name on it on campus. He is a face I will never forget, a memory which forged my allegence to the United States of America, and a story which is all about sacrafice. Miss him so much and thank his family for him.
