I would like to say THANK YOU all the veterans. If you know a veteran call him or her and thank them for their service to our country. If today or any day for that matter that you see a man or woman in uniform stop them, shake their hand and thank them for their service to our country, I do every time. I have two grandsons and granddaughter and her husband all currently serving with three of them overseas. I ask that you remember all our military today with silent pray.

Thank You

Speaking of Men & Women in uniform...

My youngest daughter is a member of the Air Guard in Fargo, ND and just deployed yesterday (Sunday). She left with a group of 30 and traveled commercial from Fargo to Minneapolis to Baltimore and then 'east' from there on a rotator. She called when she got to Baltimore and said the pilot announced after take-off from Minneapolis that he was Very Proud to have 30 members of the 'Happy Hooligans' from Fargo, ND on board the plane and the fact that he had the honor to deliver them to Baltimore. He went on and on about what an awesome maintenance crew they were, etc. etc. He also mentioned he had the priviledge a few years back to pilot an F16 for the Happy Hooligans. She said it was very honering and humbling few minutes. The plane was full and the rest of the passengers gave them a huge round of applause.

It really warms my heart to hear stories like this when our service men and women are given the honor they are due!
