Today is Veterans Day and I want to thank all of the veterans for their service to our country and for their personal sacrifice. My grandfather and my father were veterans of World War I and World War II respectively and my grandfather was seriously wounded in France.
A special thanks to those men and women serving in the Middle East and to their families and friends who live with a great deal of uncertainty.
Thanks also to my good friend Henry who, although not a veteran of armed conflict, was stationed with the Air Force in West Germany. In the late-1960s, Henry nonetheless helped save Western Europe from the evils of Communism by keeping those latrines neat and clean for the officers!
Steve,
ReplyDeleteThank you for mentioning my stellar military record to the world. Yes, I did defend freedom overseas in the 60s, and many German ladies may still remember "Sergeant Hank" as a military hero. (I wish I had one tenth the action now that I took for granted then.) A happy Veterans Day to you and yours.
Henry
