The first County Fair is coming up in three weeks. Kim is practicing her baking and I am looking at photo's to enter. One of the categories, is photo that represents patriotism. I have looked at over 10,000 photo's from the past year, and I can't find anything. And then I came across these photo's of my dad. My dad, Levern Narveson, was part of the Greatest Generation. He never talked about the war, it was something that you did. You did your job, you came home, and life went on. If I asked my dad about the war, he would tell me anything I wanted to know. But he always end the story, by stating "Everyday I wake up, is a bonus day" My dad lived his life that way, and I feel he passed some of that on to me. There is a book being written about the 99th Infantry Separate Battalion, or other wise know as the Norwegian Ski Troops. This was a group of men, that not much is know about. Other then they did what they had to do. To me, a Patriot, is someone that does what it asked and doesn't ask for anything in return. That would have been my dad.
Thanks dad.
