My father may not have been the best teacher in the world, but, he did teach me to be a gentleman. To hold a door open for a lady, to vacate a seat for the elderly, To say please and thank you and to address my elders properly. One story come to mind, when we were eating dinner one night, one of my younger brothers came to the table shirtless. Well, this started the lecture about the military code of conduct.Hats come off when you enter a building and correct dinner attire. To this day, I wear a shirt at the dinner table and still complain about kids wearing their hats in restaurants even with parents at the table. Its tough being a boomer (53) but that's my cross to bear. I just hope that my boys learned to treat others with respect. Not just women, but everyone. Ind the end we are all God's children and we should respect others similarities and differences.
