Father's Day

Maj. Elizabeth Clay, commander of the 305th Maintenance Squadron at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J., enjoys a day out on a fishing trip with her father, Thomas Biskup, about four years ago. Major Clay penned this essay to her father for Father's Day: "My dad…the son of a Croatian Immigrant and proud World War II U.S. Army machine gunner. My dad…the father to four children, the grandfather to two, and the husband of 50 years to one love. My dad…the baseball player, the runner, the fisherman, the traveler. My dad…the Air Force fighter pilot, the air traffic controller. My dad…the gardener, the teacher, the builder, the mechanic, the adviser. My dad…hands of steel, soft kind eyes, tender smile, gentle touch, heart of gold. My dad…my hero. I love you, dad!"
