Happy Veteran’s Day

To all the men and women who have ever served in our military … thank you!

This is a picture of my dad, my mom, and me. My dad was a POW in Vietnam for almost nine months. He was a back-seater in an F-4 Phantom and a Wild Weasel. His job was to find the enemy radar installations and take them out before the other fighters could safely navigate through the area. A very dangerous job. The Vietnamese eventually shot down his plane and he and the pilot both punched out. He was captured, tortured, and taken to the “Hanoi Hilton”. For almost nine months he endured and survived.

So, to my dad, and all the veterans protecting my rights and freedoms … I salute you.
