We know what Red Madsen was like, but we know even better the tremendous person that his daughter is to have written such a heart-felt, warm, meaningful account of her father...and potent personal advice for each of us.
Right on

Would haved loved to meet Red. Sounds like a great guy and I wished we lived in a world that allowed us to live our lives as written above...we don't. Hope some day we will. Until then sounds more like Peter Pan and the lost boys.

On this day, my salute to all who have sacrificed and served with Dignity
To hoist a glass for "Red" is the least anyone can do.
