Salute to Hero Fathers
My Dad is one of my biggest heroes! My dad was such an extraordinary example father. Even though he was humble and mild mannered, he was a rock when it came to right and wrong. His work ethic and perseverance in the midst of trials left an indelible legacy. He always put the Lord first in his life, and he and mom used God's word, the Bible as their foundation, and raised our family in its instruction.
My Dad served in World War two, received a purple heart for his bravery. Although he only had an eighth grade education, which he received in a one-room school house in Shawneetown, Missouri - he spent most of his time in managerial positions in the grocery business. Very early in his career he was a produce manager, and then he became a grocery store manager until he retired.
I put a radio series called "Salute to Hero Fathers" together to encourage dads to see the importance of their role in their family. Over the year's I've put together 5 parts to the series. I'd like to hear from you about your dad. What made him a hero in your eyes? What great example story can you share that will encourage others? Maybe I'll have enough stories to put another radio show together.
