Robert was a proud American who loved the Lord, his family, and his country. He came from a long line of military servicemen. His great grandfather served during the civil war, his grandfather served during WW I and his dad served during WW II, Korea and Vietnam.  Robert, himself served as a medic during the US Army for eight years.
