My grandfather (on my mom's side) was "gassed" in WWI, survived but was never the "same" according to my mom.

My father was wounded in France in WWII.

My brother died in Viet Nam December 9, 1969. I have met the man who tried to save him & in whose arms he died.

My husband was in the Air Force.

Veteran's Day (and Memorial Day) are very important to me. Thank you to all of you out there who have served (and who continue to serve). We would not be here without you.
