My family has been fortunate that in recent generations all of the many who have served and who have gone to war have returned home.
For my family, we go back to the revolutionary war, where one of my great ancestors was lost, and his wife fought on.
Thank you Dawn for beginning a post to our veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice. I retired in 2013 after multiple tours overseas. Today is a day to honor and remember those personnel who went before us and blazed a trail for us to continue.
While i served in the U.S. Army from 1988-1991, my service was before Desert Storm and i didnt re-enlist so that i could persue a law enforcement career. I want to give my heartfelt thanks and respect to those that chose to re-enlist & those that paid the ultimate sacrice so that the rest of us could persue to dreams that those sacrifices made possible. I will never forget the honor we shared together and the sacrifices that you made! Thank you!!
