Veteran's Day

When visiting my mother in Ohio a few weeks ago, she brought out some old photos that I hadn't seen for many years including the following one of my father shown in a newspaper clipping back in January of 1968:

My father was drafted to the army for the Vietnam War and served honorably on the front lines, something I've always been proud of.

While Dad is no longer with us (he passed away back in 1999 due to Diabetes contracted from the use of Agent Orange), our family understands and truly appreciates the service so many men and women have provided and continue to serve for our country. A sincere word of thanks goes to all of who you have today. This is your day and you deserve it!
