Many of my clients are veterans or currently in the military. They know how I feel about their service, but it’s my belief we can’t tell them too many times how grateful we are.
Each Memorial Day I think of my Uncles Cork and Dick, Navy and Air Force, respectively. Can’t much talk with Cork these days, as he’s in final stages of Alzheimer’s. Dick and Aunt Evie are away for a couple weeks, so I can’t talk with him either.
Both embody what America is about, role models for role models if you will.
I’ve been immensely blessed having both of them as integral parts of my life.
God bless Dick and Cork, and all of our country’s military.

Beautiful. I spent part of my day visiting my dad, a career military man who fought in three wars. He is buried at Bay Pines National Cemetery. It was crowded as usual, on Memorial Day. I had several great conversations with other visitors as usual. Makes even a cynic like myself feel proud.
