I Am Your Father

He wanted a Star Wars birthday party, so he could be Luke Skywalker and fight Darth Vader. His sister dressed a Princess Leia. Darth showed up, the light sabers were employed, but under that helmet, it was not the cousin that was supposed to play the part, but Daddy! The children hadn't seen him in three months, and didn't expect to see their Navy dad until December, but he got a 96-hour leave to attend his son's birthday party. And the occasion became another entry at The Welcome Home Blog. (via Daily of the Day)

Happy Veterans Day.
