He has a nephew currently serving in the Marines. My father was a veteran of both Korea and Vietnam, both of my brothers, an uncle, and a brother-in-law were all in the military. One of my niece's husband is currently serving in the Navy. <BR/><BR/>Thanks to all of them, and all of your loved ones who served, and to all of the rest of the veterans. We couldn't be the country we are without them.B.E.

My cousin went to West Point, and was in the Army (saw combat in the first Gulf War). His sister's husband went to West Point and is in the Army (has never seen combat or been posted overseas).

I love it when occasionally my pastor will ask veterans and military to stand up so we can applaud them.<BR/>It's an honor to see people serve our country that way, and pretty cool that you have that kind of history.Jessica Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365768876905444157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38053992.post-85585883833290450892008-11-11T09:11:00.000-05:002008-11-11T09:11:00.000-05:00Great post.
