I will never know the horrors of combat but what I do know is I owe my freedom to so many and for that, I am forever grateful. Saying thank you is not enough, Im sure, but my heart and support for my country and those who served are beyond words.

My grandkids will never know what sacrifices were made to keep us safe and secure so they can appreciate what we have. I am not young but Im still alive and healthy and will fight any way I can.
