Today is Richard's 50th anniversary of his induction into the Navy. It was 1959. He was 17 years old. He got on a train and headed to the Great Lakes Naval Training Center. His mother packed him a lunch for the ride.
As long as I've known him, he's called October 5th his lucky day. This day started him on his journey. A journey that took him around the world. A journey that shaped him for all that was yet to come. A journey that led him to me and us.
Thank a service man today. Hug someone that has made a difference in your own life. Look up an old friend on facebook, that you've lost touch with long ago. Make connections.
You may never know where life will lead you.
