When I read the post below earlier today, I asked Ricochet reader Scott Reusser to run next door and snap a photograph. He did. Happy birthday, Mike!
Peter: Today is the birthday of my 88 yr old neighbor who also was in the battle for Okinawa, as a Marine. He spent the following 40 yrs spiking up and down utility poles. His body is tired and bent, but he has a picture in his living room of himself and a couple fellow Marines, shirtless and in their prime. Tough guys in a way that I and my buddies are not. Last night I helped him hang a Marine Corps banner on his front porch. Happy birthday, Mike Giordano. Happy Memorial Day.

Happy Birthday Mike! My father was a Marine. Thanks for answering the call and making my life possible. Semper Fi.
