Loving Marine Leads, Protects Family: Temecula Father's Day Photo

TEMECULA, CA — Father's Day is almost here, and Patch is celebrating with fun photos of California dads and their kids!

Temecula Patch reader Taylor Walker sent in this candid picture of her husband Patrick. She included the following tribute:

"My husband is a Marine and had his leg amputated on our eldest’s 1st Birthday. For our kids, it’s totally normal that dad can take his leg off. They used to think there was something wrong with everyone else because we couldn’t take our legs off!

He’s an incredible Godly man who has had to overcome so many obstacles to get to where he is. He has to work harder to get the same results as most others but he’s done an amazing job leading and protecting our family and my girls are so blessed to be able to call him daddy."

Happy Father's Day, Patrick!
