Recognizing our Veterans

[OLDFLM]

As a veteran, the observances of Rememberance Sunday, Rememberance Day and Veterans Day today have a special meaning to me.

My service in the United States Air Force created a personal connection that is at the heart of what I do today and why I am proud to be a member of the "retired military" team. I know many of you have similar connections either through your own service or through loved ones who have served or are serving in uniform.

Those in the armed services represent less than one percent of our national populations. These are special people who dedicated themselves to protecting the rest of us – our democracies and the freedoms we cherish.

It has been said many times that freedom is not free. Utilize this day to remember this fact and in honoring those who have sacrificed so much to protect our way of life.

There are no words that could ever express my level of love and appreciation to our Veterans. I hope that you all will accept my humble Thank You and understand.

Well said Ty! I too am proud to be a member of the "retired military" team!
