My Dad Wally Moede entered the Marines when he left High School at age 17. In six months he became a Sgt. Dad was stationed in China and then went to Pearl Harbor after the attack and then he was on a ship to invade Japan until President Truman dropped the bombs. Dad is my hero of life! He left us suddenly in 1992, Easter morning, of a fatal heart attack at just 64, the same week he filed his retirement papers. Sadly our Mom, Ruth, passed away at age 64 two years later of cancer. We think Mom Died of a broken heart. I miss my Dad and Mom so very much! They gave us kids such a wonderful all-american life, we grew up with a Christian foundation.
Happy Birthday U.S. Marines:
