I always wear eye protection but my son broke them just before we left.

He was in WW2 as an airplane mechanic.

What a great memory you created! He looks very intent on what he's doing. How wonderful that you spend time with him, and you both had fun! He looks like a kid with a new toy! LOL

cool !

And he needs no no eye glasses (or eye protection either apparently)!

I've asked my DDay Dad to go shooting with me and he says he has no need to shoot a gun again. I've never pushed him on it. He earned the right to do what he wants.

I envy you.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your comments!

I did a video interview with him a year ago. His parents came over on the boat and he grew up in Norwood when Bird was still alive during the depression!

Pilgrim, please give your dad a hug and warm "Thank-You" from all of us the next time you see him.

I'm not going to repeat what everyone said here but I will say, take every chance you get to do these things... These times will disappear and you'll miss them. Take it from someone who knows.

Your a great Son! Your Dad did a fine job! My Dad passed away 2 years ago this Thanksgiving, and I miss going to the range with him.

I wish you, your Dad, and the rest of your family a wonderful holiday season.
