Rick, your mother and father were memorable people that lived a life that we all wish we could live. They raised their boys with love and care and all the lessons of goodness, caring for others, and being strong men that was the American ideal. I know from what you have told me of them - and reading your mother's words - that you were blessed.
Please write some musings about them for us.
I already love them both.

Sergeant York, 1941 with Gary Cooper. (My father was from TN and was named for him). Sergeant York is a 1941 biographical film about the life of Alvin York, one of the most-decorated American soldiers of World War I. It was directed by Howard Hawks and was the highest-grossing film of the year.
The American Film Institute ranked the film 57th in its 100 most inspirational American movies. It also rated Alvin York 35th in its list of the top 50 heroes in American cinema.
In 2008, Sergeant York was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

I am now convinced, more than ever, that America is full of ignorant (meaning lacking knowledge not stupid) foolish people. How else can I explain the Trump phenomenon?
I am ashamed, worried, scared and just plain tired all at the same time.
I doubt he will win, but the fact that he was even a possible choice offends me.
I understand. I think the deplorable economy has a lot to do with it. And the world is changing faster than some can keep up with and it frightens them and makes them resentful. I think these things and many others are what brought people to Bernie Sanders as well as Trump. Feelng that nothing good has happened for the majority of the population in many years. I also think certain sections of the Republican party applauded and encouraged others that made enemies of Democrats and Obama, blocking them from doing anything, but the Republicans not doing anything either for 8 years. Sow hate and it may turn around to bite you.
