my dad was ex army 101st airborne in ww2, he made me walk the chalk,taught me respect and for others and manners along with dicipline.
at the time i thought boy he is tough on me and why ? other folk said boy your dad is a tough nut to crack i feel sorry for you... but then life comes on strong and everything my dad taught me i needed and the dicipline laid the foundation for me being self employed successifully since may of 78. he taught me the value if a hand shake and to look everyone straight in the eyes, always give respect even to those who do not deserve it as they might not have had a good example set for them to follow so it must be you ! also with what dad taught me I got accepted into the U.S.ARMYS special forces trainning program "OFF THE STREET" AFTER BEING INTERVIEWED BY THEM...... what a honour, I never told them about my dad and what he done from south africa to berlin being wounded, getting frozen feet on and on and never quitting. it truely was a honour to have him as my dad. he died while i was in SF school. he was going to come pin my jump wings on me 2 weeks after he died. dads have the job of tough love of they do there job and tough love is real love.
