This is a simple post for the purpose of thanking four men I know and love who have spent time in their life away from their wives, children, parents, siblings, and friends in order to serve this country I am so glad to call home. They serve(d) to reserve for myself, and those they left behind, all of the rights we enjoy and even some that we don't.
So here is to you, Grandpa Praetzel, Grandpa Bennett, P.A. , and most currently my awesome brother Jeff Richer. I dedicate my heart to remember at least once a year what great men you are, and what a wonderful country I live in because of your sacrifice.
Happy Veteran's Day!
