Happy Veteran's Day

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.
