Sherman tank crushing a Honda Prelude on July 4, 2008. I drove my parents and my two youngest children to a private July 4th celebration. The host collects military vehicles (he has seven plus warehouses full) and every year he puts on a big shindig--an all day celebration, and invites veterans and their families to attend. My dad served in N. Africa, Sicily, and Italy during WWII. Earned four bronze battle stars, was awarded the Silver Star at the battle of the Rapidio River, Cassino, Italy and turned down two purple hearts. This and other characteristics of my father made him my number one hero while growing up.
