Thank you to all who have served and to those families that have lost 
someone who has served that chose to defend our country in some capacity!

I have lived in several states over the years and love seeing those persons 
who show that they have served, not just on Memorial Day, but year round.  
I try to acknowledge each and every one.  I love their responses.  They 
have earned respect and it is only fair to honor them each and every day.

I have also worked with many veterans over the years.  I can attest that 
they are amoung the best employees you will ever work with.

Thank you all who support our country!
