After visiting the World War 2 Museum yesterday, I opened today with HONOR since SERVICE and SACRIFICE have too many letters. In 1940 the UK was the only free democracy in Europe and Asia still standing and US voters were evenly divided over whether we should stand with them. It was only after Pearl Harbor that we became united against the Axis and millions began to SERVE, my Dad being one. Dad had no CLAIM to fame- he was a newly married high school math teacher when his draft notice arrived. He became an Army Air Corp supply officer who was shipped to northern India with a unit tasked to BUILD an airfield for B-29 bombers. The war ended before it was BUILT and Dad's unit was shipped back home. He then used the GI Bill to go to grad school and go on to become a college professor. He remained in the Air Force Reserve and retired as a full Colonel. With my Mom as his partner, he BUILT a career and a family.

My game was pretty DICEY but I got there!

Song of the Day: "We BUILT this city" Starship (1985).
