These pics show my Army-man dad
Don’t you think he looks pretty rad?
He served with great pride
Both abroad and stateside
[how would you finish my limerick?]
A few years ago I did the A-to-Z Challenge using collages I had made alongside unfinished limericks. I especially enjoyed the unfinished limerick part. It was very audience-participation-ish.
This year I thought I would try using old photographs and unfinished limericks. Can you finish this limerick?
My dad really was in the army. The army paid for his medical school, and he paid them back with time. I was born on an US Army base. My father then went overseas to Ethiopia to a base there — with the whole family. My earliest memories are from that time.

Your posts are always so cleverly written! ChatGPT suggests this as a last line: A true hero I’ll always be glad
Ooh — I like that!
Good photos of your dad. He made the most of his time in the military and helped people in the process it sounds like.
It must have ben interesting to grow up in different places.
How wonderful to serve humanity.
Wow Sally he looks like a film star, and I can hear he was yours, what a fascinating background story you have …. I think this is a great idea – the end line that comes to me is “with love he will always be clad”. I look forward to the next …. 💞
Lovely share, Sally. I love the photos and can imagine how deeply your father’s commitment touched you.
