With the pilot who flew the Jolly Green Giant that rescued my father after he was shot down in Vietnam in 1971. Second time we've met- been a few years- but he just moved from California to Denton.
He never knew my father, but because of his sacrifice, and the sacrifice of many others, I had a father for an additional 40 years. A father that guided me, disciplined me, and put me on a path to adulthood. I was 9 when my dad was shot down, and can't imagine what life would have been like without him the next 40 years.
Glen Walder is a hero to me. Without people like him I can't even imagine what my life today would have been like.
God bless our veterans, past and present, that were willing to risk all, for a few.
I could go on, but there's really nothing more I can say that can come close to revealing how grateful I am. My family and I are blessed due to the sacrifices made by people like Mr. Walder.
