This post is made in honor of my dad who passed away earlier this year. He was a good man who loved above all else, this country. He had a profound respect for our Forefathers and our Constitution. He dedicated nearly his entire life to America's national security and worked tirelessly to help keep us safe.

One of his passions was birds, especially Wood Ducks. The male Wood Duck has very distinctive multicolored iridescent plumage and red eyes.. Undoubtedly one of America's most stunning waterfowl. Shown here is one of his liquor decanters featuring Wood Ducks which now rests proudly on my wall. I think it's beautiful, and a great reminder of my father.
