Larry Tribute

I had to put these pictures on here because I thought they were so awesome. They are a few of the many pictures Brian's Dad took while he was in Vietnam. Larry is one of the greatest people I know. I have been scanning these old photos to my computer so that these memories can be preserved. If I do it just right, I can get Larry to tell stories about his time in Vietnam.  To hear him talk about the war and the things he saw and experienced and then still be so positive, is amazing to me. So, this is my tribute to "Slim". I am so thankful to him for passing his strong integrity, ability to work hard, optimistic outlook and so many more incredible ideals on to his son, my husband. I am a lucky lucky girl!

Chailyn, those pictures are incredible. Seriously, everything about them is so touching. Though I don't know your father-in-law as much as you do, I still love the sweet man that he is. I think everyone who has crossed paths with him in life has been blessed to know him. And it's a great thing for you to honor him with this... no wonder you are his favorite. :) Thanks for sharing these, I love them!!
