My father was a Navy veteran, but he was also an alcoholic and a less
than commendable dad. He passed away years ago and I have yet to visit his
grave site, even though I occasionally pass through the community where he is buried.
I have to admit that for me, his actions in life over shadow his military
contribution. I realize that in a sense I’m setting a double standard. It would
be wrong for me to begrudge my Dad being honored for service when I know that Christ’s
sacrifice on the cross is the only reason that God overlooks the actions in my
life.
