  7. Both our grandpa's served in the military. Our dad's dad was in the navy during WWII and had his ship hit by a kamikazi. Our mom's dad was in the army during the Korean war but served in Europe. We are proud of both of them for their service.

  8. Have many within family, among friends from all conflicts going far, far back. Too many. Some honorably buried at Arlington Cemetery. A high school sweetheart remembered on the Vietnam Wall on the Mall in Washington, DC. And many as well who sadly returned from Vietnam, thankfully still here today, though disabled. Honor is theirs, each and every day. And today I also give honor to the new and next generation who will follow and serve. Among them, my grandson, who is presently at the USNA, Annapolis and will one day join the Navy following in the boots of other proud men and women. Thank you all.
