I was a VA volunteer for a few years.

A clip I hold close to the heart.

The sound of the Budweisers/Tridents being slammed into the coffin too much for me.




Pride, Honor, Character, Sacrifice.

Not just words to our veterans.

Our nation owes a debt to them that can never be repaid. We can only acknowledge it, never forget it, and care for our veterans the best way we can when they return and need us. For when we needed them, they did not hesitate to step up to the line and answer the call of duty.

I stand humbled in their presence.


We can earn it.

That line was corny to some who saw Saving Private Ryan, but it meant something to me.
