My father (Homer Lee Moore) is an American hero.  He has been a good husband - married to Nyla Maxine Moore (1924-2013) for 67 years - good father, good neighbor, good citizen and a decorated veteran of World War II.  After Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941, Dad joined the U.S. Navy and was assigned to the U.S.S. Maryland (BB46) battleship.  He saw action in the Pacific Theater of Operations from 1942 to 1945 where he served as a gunners mate and was awarded a Silver Star for gallantry and four Bronze Stars for heroic actions during battles with an enemy of the United States of America.  

On April 26, my sister Linda and I celebrated Dad's 95th birthday with him in Kingman, Arizona and then I took him to the casino to play some video poker.
