Honor

My father received his Korean War Service Medal from the Pentagon this weekend. No fancy presentation ceremony. He just sent them copies of his discharge papers telling them he was over there back then, along with the form. The medal came in a large envelope along with a document of gratitude from the Republic of Korea. The last time Dad wore any of his medals, he was giving a speech to his alma mater high school's graduating class a couple years ago. At least it seems that long ago.
