SON OF A SEAL

My Father, the Captain was a true Officer & Gentleman of the highest caliber. A genuine diplomat & magnificant administrator. My brothers and I could not have had better parents teaching us the guiding principles of life. They instilled in each of us love, trust, integrity, honesty laced with a commitment to truth. We were raised in the Presbyterian Church, you know, the frozen chosen. At the age of 32, I was awakened to the reality of who Christ is and the life I was chosen and called to live.

Mom & Dad were the true heroes, like in the days of old, but in real life heroism is not glorious or fun. It's painful, dangerous, exhausting and at the end of the day they seek no recognition yet relieved and battered by the experience. Daily they would pick up their cross and soldier on without recourse or complaint, rarely sharing their wants, needs or hurts. Ambassadors of the highest order to Father's Glory.

Every man Dad met, he was their friend, as exhibited on the sad day of his funeral. He always saw past the differences of others seeing to the core of why we are alive and why we are together and what our mission is on Earth. Dad always accepted the beauty, meaning and good fortune that all our differences actually represent and Mother was usually in step keenly at his side. His sudden departure while deer hunting with the President of Penn State left a huge gulf in her life.

Onward and upward...

Woff, woff!

Hello @trinityfarms, Nice to meet you!

I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.

KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!

Tips:

If you're not comfortable to write in Korean, I highly recommend you write your post in English rather than using Google Translate.
Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
So, here's what might happen afterward. Your Google-Translated post might be mistaken as a spam so that whales could downvote your post. Yikes! I hope that wouldn't happen to you.
If your post is not relevant to Korea, not even vaguely, but you still use KR tag, Whales could think it as a spam and downvote your post. Double yikes!
If your post is somebody else's work(that is, plagiarism), then you'll definitely get downvotes.
If you keep abusing tags, you may be considered as a spammer. It may result to put you into the blacklist. Oops!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!

Woff, woff! 🐶
