I'm Glad He Won

This is my grandfather. His name was Victor. He was an auto mechanic, a gardener, and a fiddler who won Smithsonian awards for folk music. He was also a proud American and a World War II veteran. A devout fundamentalist Christian, he applied to be a medic during the war because he didn’t want to kill anyone. I have always remembered a phone conversation I had with him in which he told me that the most important thing in life is to have a relationship with God.
