Dad, '66 or '67. Way before selfies were a thing. He was on maneuvers somewhere in Germany. In one of his letters home, he said that some of the guys were bored and eager to go to Vietnam, but he for one was fine where he was.
When I was a kid, I told my grandfather I wished my dad had been a war hero. Grandpa said if he had been he might not have survived and I might not have known him. After that, having Sergeant Rock for a dad didn't matter so much.
Here though he looks a little like Lee Marvin or maybe Donald Sutherland from The Dirty Dozen, which is cool in itself.
He would have been 73 today.
