Remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We are grateful that we are fortunate enough to be able to celebrate and honor their lives for their service. Thank you to my father who served in the Calvary in WWII, to my brother Chris who served in Vietnam (Two tours, bronze star/ Navy Seal), and to all those who served and all those who continue to serve. 

Never forget.
