VERY GOOD! A well done for Veterans day. I never was a HERO, but thank God I have known many. They are there today, following orders, the active duty guys, who will soon settle for the proud name VETERAN!

Present past and future this country has has men willing to follow orders, we were never asked to agree just do it.

Now you have me CCCCOLD!
Love to you and your love from central Florida.
