Just got word my Grandfather just had a stroke. 89 years old.
Was an orphan as a boy. Went into the Air Force. Went into a program called, punchcard tabulating (predecessor to the modern day computer). Went as high as he could in the enlisted ranks (Chief Master Sgt.) Was in the same building as Gen. MacArthur in Tokyo immediately after the war. Been in 48 of the 50 states. Retired and did another 20 years Civil Service with the AF and was over the computer lab at Eglin. Offered up his life to serve his church.
We just recently moved he and my Grandmother into an assisted living facility for retired AF after they had been in the same home for over 50 years. He made the statement that he never had a home as a boy, and now at the end of his life he feels like he doesn't have a home again. It's been a tough transition and now this.

Man that's really sad to hear I will be sending prayers up
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself
The older I get the better I used to be

Prayers sent. The story you posted really stings the heart when you think if all he's done. God bless.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Thank you for the replies. He is has some drooping on the left side of his face but can move his legs and arms and is starting to speak.
I forgot to mention he met one of his high school teachers later in life and they told him he had the 3rd highest score on his graduation exam in the state of Florida. He was never told this. He is living proof that in this country, your grasp is as far as your reach.

That's an impressive life story, prayers for your family.
