Just wanted to take the time to thank all the veterans...past and present.
Both my grandfather's were veterans. Both of my wife's grandfathers were veterans. My father in-law as well. And over the years I have gotten to know quite a few more veterans.
When I was a young boy, anyone in a military uniform was instantly a hero of mine. They were more like mythical heroes to me. I always felt safe when I saw someone around in uniform. Now that I've grown up, and being a veteran myself, I like to hope that I was able to provide young ones with that sense of pride and comfort that were instilled in me at such a young age.
To my grandfathers, my wife's grandfathers, my father-in-law and all other veterans......thank you for your service to our great country. If it wasn't for your generations, I might not have had the priviledge and honor of wearing the uniform.
