Photo taken at the WW II Memorial with John holding his Dad's flag
that was at his Memorial Service back in 1990 as well as his name
plate that he used in WW II. John's Dad enlisted as a doctor in
WW II "for the duration" meaning for as long as the war
lasted. He left as a Major and went back to practice as a family
doctor in Illinois.
John says: "I grew up in Abingdon, Illinois. Admiral James
Bond Stockdale was from there and won the Medal of Honor for his
heroic actions while a POW in North Vietnam for seven years.
He
was Ross Perot's running mate."

parade in 2010. The pig was part of the
parade, somehow, but there were
lots of dogs in the parade too.
