Ed, you will always have those memories of your dad, never forget that my friend. I lost my dad December 17th 1984, he was 67. He put 30 years in the Navy, retired and then another 18 years with the USPS. Retired and passed a year later.

My dad was also my best friend, he could do anything that he set his mind to.

Those pictures you posted make me want to go thru his pictures once again.

Rest in Peace: John P. DeBeasso

For you AR guys, If you notice the AR15/M4 that dad has in his hand (picture of him about to board chopper) That has the Adjustable stock and short barrel, looks to be a 14.5 inch or shorter.

I didn't know they had that style of AR back then.


I'll be posting more pics soon, if no one minds? (got a new printer, scanner just want to plat with it )

Default Dad's Funeral

This was an Event to say the least, To see a Military Funeral on TV is one thing,But to see it in person is another, Listening to "TAPS" in person will send a chill down your spine.

3 chapters in dad's life were represented there,On one side you had his Ranger buddies, in the back you had his Harley buddies and the other side there was his S.A.S.S buddies, These guys drove 2 hours and stood in the hot Alabama sun in August in full S.A.S.S gear.

Mom requested that the Pall Bearers be "RANGERS" but due training they couldn't swing it but his old unit (3RD Ranger Bat/75 Reg) did send a Representative to present Mom with the Flag.
