Those who have no veterans in their family are missing out on the opportunity to feel and share the deep gratitude of having that deep, personal connection to someone who served. No one likes to think of fighting, injury or death but power and greed do exist and as long as they exist there will be fighting and wars. I am deeply thankful for those who are willing to defend our freedom. My father and all of my uncles served in WWII. My brother served in Vietnam. My adopted son was career. My nephew is serving now. SO PROUD and GRATEFUL.
