One day, Josh was giving a speech about serving in the military. He talked about how the battles had been in were devastating. But, he also talked about his father. He talked about how he was not th greatest person, but that he raised Josh to be the soldier that he was and that he should be honored. He was tired of hearing so much negativity about his own father.
One day he had enough. He heard a person talk bad about his father, and he beat them down. "You should learn to have some fucking respect for those that have passed away", Josh yelled. From that day on no one talked about Josh's father again. Josh decided he should go back into the military, to honor his father.
