    Thanks for your article on Dave Himmer. I was with he and his company on September 12, 1968.

    My name is Ron Parker, to Dave AKA Defiant 91.

    If permissible please have Dave to contact me.

    Thank you for telling my big brother’s story. Wow, what a nice job you did! We know we were truly blessed to have Dave return home safely. His dedication/hard word to the service exemplifies the way we were raised – give it your all no matter what your doing and Dave did. I thank Dave and the countless others who have sacrificed/served and their families – they do not get enough recognition for all that they endured protecting our country. God Bless America.

    David,

    Thanks for providing your platform to tell my Dad’s story. I’ve been truly blessed to have a Dad who is such a Humble, Christ Centered, Honorable and Integrity Driven example as a father, fellow Airman, mentor and friend. God blessed him with a storied and eventful journey in life, which the military was and continues to be such a big part of.

    Because of his example, I joined the Minnesota Air National Guard and spent 15 years (1991-2006) as a Security Forces Craftsman (Military Police), attaining the rank of TSgt/E-6. It was an honor to have been able to serve for all but my last year of service together on the same installation with my Dad.

    It is because of the focus on Christ, a great family and the great training and leadership he had, that my Dad was able to make it through so many years of service, across three different branches, different locations and career fields.

    It is wonderful to have such a great platform to tell the stories of our Vets.

    God Bless you and your team!
