My dad was in the Air Force during that time as well, stationed in Oman though. He worked on repairs before and after war damage, specifically C-130s. Doubt they would’ve crossed paths, but who knows!

My father eventually got medically discharged and was 100% disabled veteran status until he passed away June 17, 2025 from service-related illness.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Are you ok?

Thank you. And yeah, my mom and I are holding in there and doing alright. It’s been a tough year without him, though.
