    I was born in London, England, and emigrated to the United States with my family when I was three years old. After graduation from a high school in East Suburban Minnesota, I went to college for a journalism degree. I have been in the U.S. Army National Guard or Army Reserve since 1990, during the course of which I deployed to Iraq in 2005 – 2006. I have worked as a newspaper reporter, a medical biller, and a Paralegal for the U.S. military. I am also a civilian paralegal.

      Dad's Legacy - Dennis Coslett

      Welcome back, the bartender said. Sorry it had to be under these circumstances.

      Thanks for the thoughts, Adam said.

      You've been gone a while, I guess.

      Yes, I have, Adam said. He had, in fact, left Valhalla, his hometown, fifteen years before, and had been back only once since then. Partly, that was the doing of the Army, which had kept him busy. And partly, it was his own doing. Adam Nelson had always felt that his hometown held very little for him. He left as soon as he could, and had made an effort not to go back. He had always managed to find other places to spend his leave time.

      I don't suppose you'll be here long, the bartender said. John Nelson never had much. I can't imagine he's got that much to leave to anyone, even his son.

      That's what I've been hearing, Adam Nelson said.

      He'd talked to a number of people since he'd come back to town two days ago. Whatever they thought of his father – and opinions were varied – they all agreed on that: John Nelson had very little to his name, and wouldn't be leaving very much behind.

      Which was the same thing Adam Nelson had been wondering: what had his father left him?

      * * * * *

      Adam Nelson came to this small bar that he remembered directly from the funeral for his father. The funeral was a bittersweet affair. He barely remembered his father, hadn't seen him or talked to him for more than twenty years.

      The funeral felt like a service for a stranger. He knew more about a nineteen-year-old private who had been in his platoon in Iraq for less than a week before he was killed by a roadside bomb than he did his own father, whom he had known
