Mr. David Thompson was born on August 29, 1946 in Lynn, MA.
He and his family moved to Miami, FL. which is where he lived until he was called to serve in U.S Army during the Vietnam War. After being shot in the line of duty, he was stationed at Ft Benning, GA where he met his wife of 47 years, Sandra.
