A Day to Remember Veterans
As many of you know, I have two wonderful children–one a LT CDR in the Navy and one a SSG (Staff Sergeant) in the Army. One day, they will both be veterans. I also have a long family history of relatives who fought for America. So today, I salute them and all others who have put their lives and dreams aside to support America’s values and principles.

9-11 Day has become Patriot Day here in America, but it doesn’t change its purpose: to show how much we love our country.
