Written in honor of my father-in-law Robert L. French. He was a Naval Commander who served during the Vietnam war. My wife, Liz and I are both retired active duty Majors. We truly loved this kind, gentle, yet honorable man. "A dad, you get just one" became a French Family saying. I loved this man with all my heart. John Michael Domino

A Dad, You Get Just One! A Dad, a father, you get just one. Dad, a man of character A dad, you get just one. Our dad, an inspiration. He was strong, loving, caring and forgiving. A Dad, you get just one. Our dad, very thoughtful. He was always on time. Our dad, a family man. He was so gentle and kind. A dad, you get just one. One for me and one for you. Our dad, softly spoken, trustworthy and true . A father, you get just one One for me and one for you. Our Dad, full of laughs, full of fun. Our dad, a special man. A dad, you get just one!

I'm so fortunate to still have my "Daddy" and there will never be anyone to take his special place in my life. Thanks for sharing this.
