A Bit Of Mark Twain On Father's Day

When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.

But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.

Looking Back On Father's Day

On this Father's Day, I once again think back to my late father, Edward M. Davis.

He was an electrician, a lineman and a good father.

A member of what has been called "the Greatest Generation," my father stepped up and joined the U.S. Navy during World War II and became an Underwater Demolition Team (UDT) frogman.

I'm very proud of my father's World War II service.

I wrote briefly about my father in a magazine piece on the UDT frogmen and how they influenced today's modern SEALs.
