Readers Celebrate The Dads In Their Lives: CA Father's Day Photos

CALIFORNIA — Happy Father's Day! In anticipation of this day, Patch invited our readers across California to send in photos of the dads in their life. From a Marine vet whose prosthetic leg does not stop him from doing all his daddy duties, to the dad who proudly wears the special T-shirts his daughter makes him, and the father who was a decorated World War II fighter pilot, it's clear by the overwhelming response that fathers hold a very special spot in the hearts of their loved ones.
