Thanks, Veterans!

Today is Veteran's Day and I want to give a big thank you to those who have served and are serving in our US military. I had considered joining the Air Force right after high school and actually had the recruiters calling me several times before I chickened out and went to nanny instead. I imagine my life would be worlds beyond what it is today had I made the decision to go. I'm sure my eyes would be open to a broader picture of the world had I joined the military but I have no regrets and just do all I can now to support the men and women who protect our freedoms and our country.

We've had family members join the armed services and I would like to recognize them now:
