I thought that was Gene Kelly for a minute when I looked at your Dad's picture! Have you ever seen him in Brigagdoon? What a lovely tribute you paid your father with the Bagpipes! My father wanted a 21 gun salute but my mother didn't get god guidance and it didn't happen. Looks like your Dad was a lot of fun! Love the pic of him holding your mother!

My father also served in the Army in the European theatre during WWII and I have a very similar picture of him in a kilt too also taken in Scotland als It has always been a favorite of mine.
