I would like to say a personal thanks to one of my mentors and a personal friend, Col (R) John Lawton.

Kinda puts our trivial lumps and bumps of our daily grinds in perspective.....

He's one of many in this country but meeting the man in person makes you re-evaluate your priorities.

We live in the greatest country in the world because of the sacrifices of our veterans.  I am proud to have served in the USAF, and in Desert Storm.  As the father of three boys, my hope and prayer is they will live in a free society and never have to go through a major war.  Thank you to all that have served, and God bless the United States of America.

I appreciate and thank all of the Veterans and their families who sacrifice to do what their country asks them to do.  My dad is a Vietnam vet and my husband is an Operation Iraqi Freedom vet.
