Daddy

Why do I use the term “Daddy”? Inside I’m still that little, blonde, seven-year-old girl who misses her father. “Daddy” is all I know to call you, even though I’m in my 60’s now-Two of your lifetimes. So often I hate you and resent you for leaving us to live without you. You may be a hero to the nation and plenty of other people, but as far as I’m concerned, mom is the real hero. She’s seen us through our bumps, tears, and stitches, the babies and grandbabies you never held. Our family was never truly whole again once you didn’t come home and our hearts weren’t either.

When I see you, I’m sure I’ll forget all that is past and settle for a great big hug and a kiss. I’d love to hear you say that I’m your beautiful little girl forever. Hugs and kisses!

Captain Cody American Hero

Dear Captain Cody,

I lived across the street from you when I was just a toddler. I remember my mother telling me never to ask any of the children in my neighborhood about their fathers as so many were in Vietnam. You were always an inspiration to me and part of the reason that I joined the military at a young age and served for 32 years. Your heroism still inspires me everyday. Even though you never knew me or just smiled at me while I played in my front yard, I thank you for having such a profound and positive effect on my life.

With deepest respect and admiration,

Robert Metnick, LTC, USA, (Ret)
