In Memory of my Daddy and hero Richard L Reeves who joined the US Navy at age 16, a child of the Great Depression. He served on the USS Colorado and was proud of his service, his Purple Heart, and of the USS Colorado being a magic carpet ship at the end of the way. His ship was next to the USS Missouri and he could see Admiral Nimitz on deck for the peace treaty. He died at 93 and my Momma died recently at 92 and is with him now at Ft Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio Texas. Both were Patriots, Christians and a great blessing to me and all who knew them.
