Veterans Day to me is not a “hallmark holiday”, it is a celebration of those that have gone the distance and beyond for our country.

“I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country.”

– Nathan Hale, 1776, in his alleged last words prior to being executed by the British for being a spy.

…love this.

So my Grandfather got to Boston in 1634. Have had one in French and Indian war… 2 in Revolutionary war, War of 1812, Civil War, WW1, WW2, Korea and Vietnam.

As my Dad would say, thank God you can push pencils. As I will say, thank God for him and the the other patriots over the last 244 years.

Thank you for your service.
