The first time i saw the star many years ago I was with my father driving from Anchorage to Chugiak. Now every time I am driving in my car I always look up there and think of that time. I even remember the song playing on the car radio! I sure miss my dad at times.

Candee - great question. I think it's still the military, but I could be wrong.
