To our troops on Veterans Day...

In this day and age, all the attention and adulation seems to be on celebrities - sports figures, entertainers, heiresses - and we seem to either forget or malign those whose sacrifices have actually made a difference...

The men and women of our Armed Forces.

So, to my late grandfather, a Marine who served in WWII....

To my father-in-law, who did two tours in Vietnam...and to his brothers, who also served.

To my future son-in-law, currently serving in the Middle East....

And to all the men and women who have ever served, giving up their plans, time with family, their health, and sometimes even their lives...

THANK YOU
