I want to thank the Men and Women of our armed services for the selfless (and sometimes, it seems, thankless) job they do to provide us with the freedoms many of us hold so dear!

Especially appreciative are the veterans who have have served and have seen what horror and what tyrants there are out there that would love to destroy our way of life.

I served with the Navy Seabees towards the end of the Viet Nam war. Sometimes when I pass a returning veteran from these current conflicts, I can almost feel what they must be thinking. They return home, having left behind their best buddies, to a place that before they left seemed almost normal, and now some of them feel like a stranger in the place where they were born and raised. I know, I've been there!

But do know that we do appreciate all you've given and done. You've answered the call to stand by our country and protect our Flag and Rights as a Republic.

Thank you, all veterans from all wars and conflicts for the honor and duty you have bestowed upon this great Country!
