My father was a retired army captain. I am very proud of the service that he gave to this country. I have heard many of his stories over the years of the time that he spent in the service and of the friends that he made there. He finished out his time in the service in the National Guard. When I was growing up he went away two weeks out of the year and every other weekend, but it wasn't during "War Time" I cannot imagine what the families of the service men and women go through, during this day and age but I am very thankful for their service and pray for them everyday.
My father-in-law was also a veteran. In fact he was shot in the war and received a purple heart. I used to love to listen to his stories of the times that he spent in the Philippines.
As I drove into work today, I listened to "Rick and Bubba" and they were honoring Veterans, several Veterans called into the show and told their stories and they really touched my heart. But let us remember to honor Veterans every day, not just on Veterans Day.
