In honor of John Faughender, Air Force - Served in World War II
(Submitted November 4, 2008 by Paula Faughender)

I'm voting this year in honor of my Dad. He taught us to vote for the person, not the party. And, he would have been thrilled to see the Democratic candidate for President this year - a black man running for President was Dad's goal for our country, and true equal rights for all of us, even though he was a white guy from South Dakota. He would say "I won't see it in my lifetime, but hopefully you'll see it in yours". So Dad, this year I'm voting for the candidate of your dreams. I love you. Paula
