“Sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” – IMAN

I was lucky that before my Dad passed, he gave me a bunch of his old photos. I treasure them and look at them regularly. This is one of my favorites.

Dad in Germany after the war with his German girlfriend. I am always really proud to say my dad fought in WWII, even though it seems odd for someone my age (35). I think he was just around for the end of the war, but it’s still pretty awesome! I never wanted to ask him about it because it seems like something you just don’t bring up, but he did once tell me a story about how he randomly met George Patton on a mountain in West Virginia. ~shared by @Rachellleeroth
