Yes we will and I am OK with that.

My dad served in Korea and he never talked about his service. I really did not know how much he did until he was gone. I really wish I had the opportunity to talk to him about his service today considering how we treat soldiers today. But the interesting thing, every Patriotic Holiday he put an American Flag on our house. He never explained it and commented on it. But what I did gain is a respect for the flag and in my little way I was the Color Guard at Missouri Military Academy back in 87 and 88. And my respect and love for the colors came from my dad. I am glad he passed that on to me without really saying much of a word. The flag from his funeral is still sitting in my Mom's bedroom. This day means a lot to me and I miss my dad.

Enough of this, let us get back to talking football.
