Dad's Touching Tribute To Sons: Montrose Father's Day 2018 Photo

MONTROSE, CA – Sons and daughters become a reflection of the dads who raise them. With Father's Day 2018 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond with Patch readers' best photos with their dads.

This photo was sent to us by father Jesse Hurtado. It shows him and his wife Leticia Hurtado with their four handsome sons. From left are: Jacob, Leticia, Jesse Jr. (middle, in uniform), Jayson (front), Jesse, and Jimmy (right).

Hurtado's son Jesse Jr. was deployed on April 14 and will be gone for six to eight months, he said. It's his third deployment, which have all happened around Father's Day.

"We are all so proud of our Marine!" dad said. "I was also in the Marine Corps so I am very proud to see my son serve our great country."

Jesse Sr. said that he's proud of all his boys and the fine young men they are becoming. It wouldn’t be possible without his lovely wife Leticia.

"I love being a Father and would not trade this for anything in the world!" he said.

What an incredibly sweet tribute to his family. Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!
