On Veterans Day, we pay tribute to the service and sacrifice of the men and women who in defense of our freedom have bravely worn the uniform of the United States.
My father is a Navy Veteran of World War II! His ship was hit during this war and he saw horrible things. He saw buddies of his that died on that Battleship that day! My dad fought for his Country and at 84 years old is still fighting for it! My sister’s and my neice and I took my dad and mom out for lunch today to celebrate and pay tribute to him and all the other Veterans in the United States.
My son Blake who is now a Senior at Priceville High School has joined the National Guard and completed Basic Training last summer between his Jr. and Sr. year. He will attend AIT summer of 2009. I don’t know what will become of the National Guard in the future, but I am proud of my son wanting to serve his country!
We visited Washington a few years back on a school field trip and went to Arlington National Cemetary to the Tomb of the Unknowns. I have never seen anything like this in my entire life!
