Nate Conlon-United States Army

Emily Russel l & Husband Nathan--United States Marine

Rebecca & David Davis--currently stationed in South Korea!

Jeff Sanborn & famly--United States Army

All of the soldiers fighting to protect my freedoms.
(These are just a few of my soldier friends & classmates.)

Today I say thank you to all of the Veterans. This includes my own family members (one of which hates having his photo taken) and many more friends that I consider family. 

 

What is a Veteran? A Veteran--whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserves--is someone who at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States Of America," for an amount of "up to, and including, their life."
