Father's Day Reflection

​Happy Father’s Day.  My Staff asked if I could put together what a “perfect Father’s Day” would look like for me.  That turned out to be much harder than I thought it would be.  There are so many things I would love to do . . . put my kayak in the water early in the morning for a nice quiet paddle on the Potomac; tee off at my favorite golf course; go for a pleasant ride on my 2003 Road King Harley Davidson on Skyline Drive . . . and the list goes on.  But, in reality, with all of the deployments and missed holidays and missed “special events” over my career, I think my very favorite thing to do on this Father’s Day would be to spend it with my family; my beautiful wife of 40+ years and my daughter and her amazing family.  I have 4 incredible grandchildren that I love spending time with.  They are smart, funny, energetic, and just fun to be around.  So, whatever YOUR perfect Father’s Day looks like, I hope it turns out exactly as you wish it would.  From all of us at the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, Happy Father’s Day!

About the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation
Dedicated to the preservation and promulgation of Marine Corps history, culture and traditions, and the education of all American of its virtues, the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation was established in 1979 as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. The Foundation supports the historical programs of the Marine Corps in ways not possible through government funds. The Foundation provides grants and scholarships for research and the renovation, restoration, and commissioning of historical Marine Corps artifacts and landmarks. Having secured the necessary funding for the complete construction of the National Museum of the Marine Corps and Heritage Center, located in Triangle, Virginia, the Foundation’s current primary mission is to vigorously seek financial support to expand programs at the National Museum of the Marine Corps and beyond its walls.
