I have heard the comments towards our youth and how uneducated and disrespectful they are. I view things in a slightly different perspective. Most of us "adults" have done "disrespectful" things in our youth. We all went through phases from the Indian wars to the World Wars.

He would have been 73 if he were still alive today, and probably still telling great jokes and giving even better advice, that only a son would be arrogant enough to ignore. He couldn't have kids, physically, so he raised my brother and I from the time I was eight. He had served in the Air Force for 22 years as an air traffic controller. My Dad and Mother came to visit my wife and I in October of 1996. We had a great visit. After they had left, my wife and I split up…I was devastated.
