I am proud to say I am a veteran. I served with honor. My family has a history of being in the military. I had three uncles who fought in WWII; two received Purple hearts. I was in the Army and was deployed to Korea. My son was a career soldier and retired as a Colonel. Three generations of loyal Americans.

This Military Appreciation Month, I hope you will take an extra minute to recognize the sacrifices made by our Nation’s service members.
