Thank you to our favorite veteran - my dad.
Episode 18
Monday, 10 November, 2025
"I stuck to it until I got it done." That's my dad, sharing a few of his stories of being in the United States Navy in the 1960s. Growing up I experienced first hand his determination, his grit, and most certainly his pride in our country. On this episode, my daughter Reilly and I sit down with our favorite veteran on Veteran's day November 11, 2024 to ask a few questions about what it was like to go through boot camp and live on the bottom of an aircraft carrier. My dad shares his experiences from "A School" becoming a Machinest Mate, restoring the USS Beverly Reed, bunk rooms, mess halls, and powering the USS Forrestal aircraft carrier from the engine room. AND dating my mom before their was a world wide web, email, or smart phones...waiting in line at a payphone, and the art of the a love letter. A year later, Veterans Day, November 11, 2025 we release this episode in honor of my dad, and all active service members. Today is a day we set aside to honor you - but let's remember that gratitude doesn't live on a calendar. Every day is an opportunity to thank someone for their service. As you move through this day, pause for a moment of appreciation - and ask yourself, what will you do with the gift of this day to show your gratitude? Thank you dad, I love you! Renee
