Memorial DayWhat is a Veteran?
A “Veteran” – whether active duty, discharged, re-tired, or reserved – is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to: “The United States of America”, for an amount “up to, and including their life.” That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today, who no longer
understand that fact.God Bless America and our Military
