Today we should all reflect on the past and how different our life would be today without the sacrifice of so many. There is no excuse for not taking advantage of the fruitful circumstances that have been created through that sacrifice. I want to personally thank every single Veteran for the life I've been fortunate enough to create.
Thank you to all of you who have served and risked for this nation. You are a true gift and an example to follow. My family and I express our gratitude and appreciation to all of you.
To all those who left their homes and families; to all those who watched as their father, mother, son, daughter, sister, brother, husband, or wife boarded a plane, train, or ship; to all those who did what needed to be done, even when they were scared beyond all they had ever experienced; to all those who lost a buddy, a friend, or just the guy next to them in the foxhole; to all those who received a call, letter, or telegram informing them that their loved one would not return; too all of you, a sincere and heartfelt thank you. Your sacrifice, your loss, and your courage will not be forgotten.
Bill & Kristy
