Thank You Veterans!

A special thank-you to all the veterans who have served in any capacity in our armed forces, and especially to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country.

My father-in-law, Roy Jennings, has a silver star and bronze star, as well as a couple of purple hearts from his service in Europe in WWII, and it's fascinating to hear his story and read his privately published book of his days in the service. Given that he was only 18 or 19 when he was going through his wartime experiences in France and Germany, it's hard to believe the difficult and dangerous things we ask our young people to do for us.

Thank you again for all of us.
