Happy Veteran's Day!
I want to thank all those who have served and sacrificed for our country.
This Veteran's Day I want to honor one man in particular, my dad. I don't think I have ever talked about my dad being a veteran. He is 82 years young and is one of the smartest guys I know. He plays golf as often as the weather will cooperate and is diligent about working out when it is too cold to golf. Wish I could say the same thing. He can tell you just about anything you ever wanted to know about history. In fact, he's our own personal history buff! Sometimes I would send the kiddos to him rather than google. When he was a young college student, he was drafted into the army. After being trained, he was sent to Germany. At that time the United States was in between wars. All of us love when he talks about his time in Europe, all the things he did while serving in the army as well as the fun times he had exploring Europe. He is our hero! So, today I honor my dad and all those men and women who served for the red, white and blue.
Here are a couple of fun, last minute, red, white and blue goodies you will enjoy.
