Thinking of You, Dad on Flag Day/Father's Day

This weekend brings us both Flag Day (which commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777 - thank you, Wikipedia) and Father's Day, so it makes sense that my dad is on my mind a little more than usual.

I've been trying to think of what to do to both mark the occasions and honor him at the same time. I think I've decided on doing some shopping for the orphanage that his unit is supporting.

For a couple different reasons, it's been a few years since I've been with my dad on Father's Day. I'm really looking forward to spending the day with him next year. Until then, this post's for you, Dad. I love you and miss you so much. I'm so proud of you and so lucky that you are my dad.
