… to all of those who have served our great nation – and to the families who stood behind them at home – thank you for your sacrifices…..
… I wish I could buy each and every one of you a beer and shake your hands….. you men and women make me proud to be an American…. your courage and commitment inspires me every single day…..
… this Veteran’s Day I want to dedicate to my Great Uncle J.R….. a man that I have always looked up to my entire life….
… a veteran of Mike Battery, 4th Bn, 14th Marines, 4th Marine Division, he served on Iwo Jima, Tinian, and was wounded on Saipan…. And he is one of my few surviving ancestors who served in World War II…..
… that said, today is a sad and a proud day for me…. sad because of so many of my beloved relatives who were vets have passed on… but proud because I knew them and their tales…. and how much they loved their country… and I am proud to have known such wonderful men….
… as for me?... I am headed off south today towards Atlanta with The Missus… and there I will eat, drink, and be merry among good company…. and honestly, well, I think it is a splendid way of enjoying Veteran’s Day….
thank you for your service.
