To all the Veterns.... I say Thank You!

I should have posted this earlier today...

I wanted to say THANK YOU to the men in my life that have fought for our great nation... along with the other men and women who have served our country!

First up is my Grandpa. Sadly, he passed away in 2006... but his memory lives on...

unfortunately, I do not have his navy photos (must remember to get a copy from my mother...) He was a WWII vetern. Lied about his age to serve his country. Dropped out of high school to serve his country. Never spoke about the things he witnessed... when serving his country. He was an example to us all! Thank you, Grandpa!

Next is my dad...

My dad served in the Army. He was stationed stateside and in Germany in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He was involved in testing of missles in the desert. Interesting stuff! I love the photos he has of it! Thank You, DAD!

Lastly, my brother...

My brother made a career out of being in the service. He served in the Air Force. He was top notch at what he did.... but don't ask me what it was... he would likely have to kill me if I knew! Mike served from the mid 1980s until recently when he retried after 20yrs. I have often been terrified of your job... but I know what an important roll you played. Thank You, Mike.


All of you have been great examples of what a good man is... I am proud of you, the jobs you held and the fact you served your country!

Thank you to all the veterns who have served, are currently serving and all those who will one day serve our great nation! May God Bless YOU!!

No wonder your brother was in the service... he comes from a long line of servicemen!
