Land Of The Free

Because Of The Brave

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

My fellow Director at the Kentfield Fire District sent me this. I believe it is fitting that we are “Free” because of “The Brave”.

To the men and woman who serve and protect and to our first responders, thank you.

And to men and woman at the Kentfield Fire District, you make me proud to know you. Thank you for your service and all that you do for the community.

Happy 248^th Birthday America

With “HOPE” for the future, because we must have “HOPE”.

To all those who serve and protect – Thank You

With respect and to the Pledge of Allegiance we took as children in school and now as adults

Happy Fathers Day Dad –

My Dad, George Gerbsman, was a first generation citizen and a member of “the Greatest Generation” who served in WWII.

As I am entering the Autumn of my years and especially on this Fathers Day, I reminisce about family. 

My Mom and Dad had hard lives.  They each worked 2 jobs at times to support the family, but with the goal to make sure their children had better lives and a good education. Dad had numerous emotional and health issues over the years and it was tough for him, but he persevered.  Some of his comments to me are what I have passed down to my son and grandson.  Work hard, do the Best you Can, Never Ever Ever Give up and be a Good Person.

I regret over the years that I did not spend enough time understanding him, supporting him and spending more time with him.  However I “thank him” the guidance he gave me. 

Dad would be very proud of his Grandson, Great Grandson and other grand children.  They represent goodness and hope for the future.

On this Fathers Day Dad, I toast you and remember you with love and respect.

“To the memory of one who once was and to the knowledge he will be in my heart and mind forever”.

With respect

Your son
