Now that is a Navy Veteran if I have ever seen one. He looks very proud of his service. I also liked the picture of him at his retirement party. I didn't check to see how many years he spent in the military.
I love our Veterans. They truly sacrificed a lot for their country. Whether it was during the time of actual duty, or the time after they got home.
Dean looks like he was a real hero, and I bet he has some stories to tell. Just looking in his eyes you can see that he saw things.
Thanks for sharing this picture and thanks for his service.
