In observance of the brave...

In honor or our veterans and those still serving our country, please enjoy this video.  I know that many of you have served our country and/or have a family members that have served or are serving. Please know that your service is appreciated and your sacrifices will never be forgotten.

Below is one of my most favorite veterans...my grandfather.  He passed away 18 years ago but I will never forget his stories of Vietnam and his band of brothers he served with. He was so strong yet allowed us grand kids to get away with so much! He fought for the freedoms I am blessed with today and for that...I thank Grandpa Troop Tiger (his nickname).
KOREAN WAR..(segregated barracks ) VIETNAM WAR.
2 PURPLE HEARTS...OVER 27 YEARS OF SERVICE. 

Don't forget....
