(36,217 posts)I would be more inclined to believe this incident might be attributed to the mild stroke he suffered two years ago.

(62,683 posts)sister died, and how he devoted his life to them. This must just be extra hard on him.
And he sure raised them right -- Beau CHOSE to be deployed, felt it was his duty even though he surely could have had Joe pull a few strings.
Good family. Holding them all in my heart.
