Barney sends birthday wishes to his Dad in Heaven.
Owen Tharp, Sr. was born 91 years ago today. He was born on September 12, 1924. Barney’s Dad’s military chapter of his life and his sons paralleled in so many ways. Owen was drafted into the United States Army and so was Barney. Owen served as an Infantryman in Germany in World War II and Barney Tharp served as an Infantryman in Vietnam in the Vietnam War. They both shared an unwavering patriotic passion for serving our country.
Please offer your salute to these two wartime heroes!
