I agree with that. And all honor to your father!!
(BTW, my own dad moved into a "retirement community" with my mom a year or so ago in Colorado; actually I'd call it a "retirement resort". He's of the same generation, a survivor of both Saipan and Iwo Jima. I began to follow in his footsteps by enlisting in the Corps; but after that enlistment I fell to the Dark Side and got a commission in the army.)
