I come from a family of military veterans so recognizing them has always been a part of my life. My father, who passed away five and a half years ago, was a Marine who served in the Korean war. His brother, my uncle, was also a Marine who served in the same war. My brothers served in the Army - one as an officer, the other in the reserves. My brother in law was in the Army and retired as Lt. Colonel. A couple of my nephews have served. My husband was in the Air Force and my father-in-law, also deceased, was in the Navy.
I also have many friends who have lived, and some who have died, in service in the military.
To all of them, thank you for your service. It is greatly appreciated.
