I Would Like To Thank

15 yrs served, but my thanks are for those before, during, and after me as well. I have had many family, and friends that have served and lost several of those. My Mothers father fought in WW1, and he passed back in 1989 at 94 yrs old. I remember him talking about the trenches, the smells, and sounds he said he could never get out of his mind. Then I went in and I to have similar memories. The one thing I can't forget, is the people. The closest friends I have ever had, and I am not affraid to say I loved them all, my brothers.

You Hogs make this a special place.....always, but it's the little post in between the normal conversation that really stands out.

THANK YOU! And I want to thank all the men and women who served before me and to all who served with and after me.

It is the people of this great nation that servicemen defend and are willing to lay their lives down for.

This afternoon, while visiting a young Marine's family at Camp Lejeune, NC, I related the story of a conversation last week with a colleague who felt sadness that our son Byron and others were "victims" of war. I told that colleague that Byron gave his life willingly that other brothers might live and would refuse to be categorized as a victim.

I love being in the company of those who serve this nation and am grateful for those who have gone before us. Thanks to the Hogs here who have shown such grateful and patriotic spirit on this Veterans Day.
