This glorious eagle is dedicated to my Father.
Today he would have been 78 years old.
His favorite animal was the Bald Eagle.
My father was a Korean War Veteran whom was in the
United States Army 7th Calvary E Company.
Only 13 from that company came back home.
So Dad today on your birthday I dedicate this
glorious Eagle looking to the Heavens.
You are gone but not forgotten. Happy Birthday!

Melissa, this is an awesome tribute to hero to the entire free world. My hats off to you!
