My dad was a WWII vet from the Pacific forces. I've still got a letter Ike sent him, thanking him for his sevice. In 1991, I gave my dad and mom a vacation to England. Since my dad was adopted during the depression and had no birth certificate, he initially could not get a passport.
I know folks in the rest of the US laughed about our Strom Thurmond, but our family loved his good ol' country common sense when he told the passport office, "If he can fight for America, he can darn well go see Big Ben."
It's a shame common sense is becoming less common.
