When I applied for my job, I put as one of my references a family friend. I suspect they did not contact him – they had my then-current boss and others to talk to. But he was there for me, as he had been at other times in my life.
He was a retired vice admiral. Service to the country, and all of us who live in it, is a hallmark of the military.
I am sure that “the Admiral,” as I called him, would have served as one of my references if he had not been in the Navy. I am equally sure that his military service played a part in the wonderful person he was.
“The Admiral” died several years ago. I hold him close to my heart for all his help over the years. As I put together this photo gallery, I am reminded of him and the service of all veterans to all of us.
