My Dad Was My Hero

On 4/4/44 my Dad, Charles H. Dent, Sr. (11/13/10 - 1/30/90) left his 6-month pregnant wife and 2 small daughters and proudly served in Patton's Army during WWII. I clearly remember the day he left as if it was only yesterday and I vividly remember seeing the Greyhound pull into Hotel Magee in Bloomsburg carrying my Dad who was coming home on furlough. He would rush to two little excited daughters and wife. By God's grace, my Dad returned home to his family upon receiving a medical discharge. His family was so blessed to have had him as father and husband. He was the most honorable man I have ever known. His word was golden. I never heard him complains about the government's involvement in the war. He was the most proud American I have ever known and I thank God for him in my life. Dad, I miss you more than you will ever know.
