Make Steak!
For Dad
What Dad wouldn’t want a
thick juicy steak for Father’s Day?
Less than 14%, according to a study
ordered by Omaha Steaks. I know
this seems biased right? But it was
actually a third party pollster the
company hired that asked dads
whether they’d prefer to receive a Tbone steak or the more traditional
Father’s Day gift of a tie, and 86% of
respondents opted for red meat.
It doesn’t hurt that Father’s
Day always falls on the third Sunday
in June, high season for weekend
outdoor grilling, another Dad favorite.

Father’s Day is June 15th and the perfect
opportunity for us to give thanks to all the dads out
there. Art Leedale, Store 7 ASM, shared the below
poem in remembrance of his Dad, James Edward
Leedale. His dad served in WWII, Korea and was in
South Vietnam.
You got it from your father, it was all he had to give.
So it's yours to use and cherish, for as long as you may live.
If you lose the watch he gave you, it can always be replaced.
But a black mark on your name, son, can never be erased.
It was clean the day you took it, and a worthy name to bear.
When he got it from his father, there was no dishonor there.
So make sure you guard it wisely, after all is said and done.
You'll be glad the name is spotless, when you give it to your son.
Art himself served as a Marine for 30 years. Art’s son,
James Eric Leedale, currently serves in the military as
a First Sargeant at Camp Lejeune.
What a legacy of fathers serving our nation!
