Happy Hour Video, Memorial Day Edition: “My Old Man”

05.27.2011 by David Murray // 5 Comments

My old man fought in WWII, served in the Battle of the Bulge. But he worried about being called the "Greatest Generation," because it might be embarrassing to be introduced that way in heaven, "with Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln sitting there."

Happy Memorial Day, Dad. And hey to Abe.

    Oh my goodness. I can’t listen to this. What are you trying to do? Kill us all?

    Don’t listen to it; just send it to your dad.

    Based on what I’ve read here about your dad, David, I suspect he’s holding his own just fine with Abe and Tom. Maybe even teaching them a thing or two.

    They couldn’t find a better man to get them up to speed on cars, trains and planes.
