For the most part my posts are directly related to motorcycling i.e. roads, gear, restaurants, motorcycles...; however, I have posted a few times about my dad, Pfc Wendell Osburn, WWII veteran and Purple Heart recipient.

In 2011 I posted about a
Memorial Day event in Decatur, Texas we attended. In 2010 I was privileged to accompany him on
Honor Flight to Washington DC which was an amazing two days that really touched Dad's heart and made him realize how important his service was and how many people deeply appreciated his sacrifice and the sacrifice of his family.

At the age of 90 years, 7 months and 7 days Dad passed away on Mother's Day in his home. Although our family celebrates the amazing life he lived and the impact he made on his family, his church and his country and we are assured of his salvation, it has been very tough.
He leaves behind seven daughters, three sons, 26 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
I learned so much from Dad and will miss him greatly.

I want to thank all of our veterans and current armed forces for their dedication, sacrifice and service. When you see a veteran please take time to shake their hand, buy them a meal or in some way thank them for their service.

| Dad, I can never repay all you did for me, taught me and the many ways you blessed me. | |
