Yes, Happy and blessed Veterans Day to all. I did not serve, but many close family members did. Some of these are three of my uncles on my Mom's side in Vietnam, of whom two have passed away. And my God father and Uncle, by marriage to my Aunt, who passed last year and proudly served on a submarine during the Korean War. His son, my cousin, gave me my Uncle's favorite hat that he wore practically everyday for the last years of his life and told me to not treat it like a piece of glass but rather wear it anytime I am out mowing, working in the garage, etc just as his Dad did. I miss him a lot.
This is me in the hat.
Happy Veterans Day. God Bless!
