This week the United States celebrated Veteran’s Day. A day to remember the men and women who have kept our nation safe. I’m proud to say I have several members of my family who have participated in this self-sacrifice.  My father served in WWII as well as Korea. His younger brother, a sailor, died during WWII. My maternal grandfather was drafted at the age of 35 during WWII. My paternal grandfather served in Europe during WWI. My husband is a Vietnam-era vet and spent twenty years in the Army.  I served in the U.S. Army reserves for eight years. I’m not considered a vet since I didn’t served 180 consecutive days during that time.

I don’t have pictures of everyone but here are my Dad and his father.
