Thanks Guys!

It's Veteran's Day. I'm truly not patriotic, or pro-war, but I am so thankful and appreciative to those who serve. This year especially I realize the sacrifices made, not just by the soldiers, but by their families. My Brother-in-Law is in Afghanistan until next August, his 4 children will not have a dad for Christmas, and all of their birthdays this year, and it hurts. That is the sacrifice. 

So thanks, Dad, who spent 10 years in Vietnam. To my brother Joe, who is in the Army and went to Iraq in 2002 for a year and had to bury his friends. And most of all to Tony, who, though his kids and wife are sad, are learning the meaning of dedication, service and sacrifice.
